Education: Ensure that all classroom have the necessary textbooks; increase funding for daycare and kindergarten centers.

Healthcare: Increase funding for healthcare providers to address Asthma, Hypertension, Diabetes and AIDS.

My professional experience, education, record of community involvement, understanding of the community needs, and expert knowledge of the Budgetary process will allow me to start working on behalf of the residents from day one in City Hall.
