Why are you running?
I am running to continue working for the hardworking people of Ward 6.
What uniquely qualifies you to be an Alderman?
I understand the process and how the city government operates and able to use the knowledge to work for my constituents and their best interests.
What do you see as the main function of an Alderman?
The main function is legislative, as a policy maker on the local level.
What do you see as the key solution to reducing homelessness in the city?
Do you feel that Manchester needs more affordable housing as defined by US HUD and NHHFA (costing no more than 30% of occupants' monthly income)? If so, how would you achieve this? If not, why not?
Not specifically affordable housing, but available housing in general. The reason why rent is through the roof is a combination of high demand for housing and high property taxes. I do not believe homelessness is primarily caused by lack of affordable housing.
What are your thoughts on public safety in the city?
What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Manchester School District? What is the top need for improvement or change?
Do you support the budgetary autonomy of the Manchester School District's governing body? (currently known as the Board of School Committee, but proposed to be renamed as the Manchester School Board). If so, why (or why not?)
