Plug into Our Skokie Peoples Campaign!

As a co-founder and chair of the Skokie Alliance for Electoral Reform, I helped lead the fight for fairer representation and meaningful engagement between our residents and elected officials. Our success in passing three major electoral reform referendums shows that Skokie is ready for a new kind of leadership. Now, I am eager to bring my public policy expertise, ethical leadership, and civil rights advocacy to serve all of Skokie.
