My mission as Detroit City Council President Pro Tempore is to make city government accessible to the citizens of Detroit as we work to deliver quality city services to the people of Detroit. To achieve that goal I will serve you in a manner that will:

• Make our neighborhoods safer for families and seniors


• Provide efficient and cost effective neighborhood services


• Effectively battle crime and violence in Detroit


• Advocate for jobs, economic development and create incentives to keep our people in Detroit.


• Open the doors to city government to ensure that Detroiters have a say in how our city is run.


• Ensure that our children have safe passageways to and from school. I will work with parents, law enforcement and educators to help make our schools violence free zones.
