I’m not a career politician. In fact, like many of you, I’ve spent most of my life focusing on my family and our community. But in 2021, I found myself at a crossroads. The city and country that my family and I love so deeply were deteriorating, and I could no longer sit on the sidelines. I knew I had to step up and fight for change.

What I’ve seen over the years has only strengthened my resolve. The establishment is rotten to its core, detached, self-serving, and utterly out of touch with the struggles of everyday people.
