advocate for improved management and governance of our City’s affairs. This includes fighting for Seat Pleasant’s public service workers to have the support and resources needed to feel valued and equipped to provide all wards with high-quality public services they deserve.
address developer concerns to attract positive development that meets the needs of residents. This includes exploring current tax benefits distribution, fiscal and permit incentives, and strategic collaborations connecting business needs to workforce development plans.
