Decisions are being made on our behalf without clear understanding of the policies that are shaping our futures. Our campaign will promote a bottom-up approach to policy and decision-making where people, not politics, are at the center.  This means demanding transparency from our city leaders and creating a path for residents to have a real say.  By empowering our community to see the agency we have to participate in local government, we will create a Ward D that works for all.
