Ignite the Fire for Change!

Why I’m Running

I am an advocate for change. But change is hard when too many New Orleans politicians are more invested in the status quo than in the future of our communities. I’m running for Orleans Parish Democratic Executive Committee to put the Party to work for the people of District E. With your support, I will work with other changemakers to recruit and support candidates for public office who are willing to fight to fix the place we all call home.

Who I Am

I am a community organizer and a New Orleans native. I have worked diligently to become a force for change for my community and dedicate both my career and my free time to fighting for social justice. In running for OPDEC, I am drawing on deep roots in our community:

I have witnessed the results of determination, persistence, and action. I intend to be the spark that starts the fire to purify the system. Injustice should not be a way of life. With your vote we can make a difference.

My Vision

I believe that we need to invest in leaders who will work for:

  • Safer and healthier communities

  • Senior healthcare and financial stability

  • Curbing youth violence and uplifting education

  • Fighting voter suppression and boosting turnout

  • Solving the abundance of blighted properties
