"I come from a multi-cultural adoptive family. My family's experience has taught me to value good communication, the value of diversity and a commitment to the community in which we live. We need to create more living wage jobs, improve our schools, and make public safety and public transportation our top priorities. With nearly a decade of volunteer community experience, I know what it takes to identify problems, resolve concerns, create solutions and then get the job done."
