I’m running for Ward 2 because Grand Rapids needs practical leadership that listens, follows through, and fights for neighborhoods. As a recent tenant turned homeowner and property manager, and as a small business owner, I’ve experienced firsthand the affordability pressures, city process failures, and everyday challenges residents face. I believe we can support growth while protecting what makes our community strong: a safe and vibrant city, well-kept housing, responsive services, and real accountability from city government. I’m running to be a steady, solutions-focused voice for the people who live and work here, and your support will help us build that campaign.
