MAKING GOVERNMENT WORK FOR YOU

Government must always be of, for, and by the people. As a City Council member you may not agree with every decision I make. Even if we may disagree, I will always work on your behalf. Since you elected me to serve you in 2019, I have continued to refuse to accept campaign donations from corporate PACs, as well as contractors and businesses with financial interests in Westland.

RESULTS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

  • Worked with my colleagues on Council and the Mayor to reinstate the vacant Board of Ethics in Westland.​

​​       In 2020 my colleagues and I on your City Council worked together with Mayor Wild to bring back the vacant Board

       of Ethics and appoint 6 new people to the board. The Board of Ethics had been vacant for a decade and there was no

       good reasoning that could be provided for its vacancy. Having an Ethics Board allows citizens to file a complaint with the

       city when they feel there as been wrong doing or an ethical impropriety. It has an important layer of accountability to

       our government here in Westland.​

  • Refused to accept campaign donations from corporate Political Action Committees PACs, as well as contractors and businesses with financial interests in Westland.

       As an elected official on your City Council I have honored my pledge to you that as a City Councilperson I will not accept

       campaign donations from any person who owns a business that has a contract with the City of Westland. That business

       could be anything from our trash and waste service provider to our city assessor. I have also continued to honor my

       pledge not to take any money from corporate-funded Political Action Committees. This means I do not take money from

       companies like DTE, Consumers Energy, and more.​

 

MY PLAN FOR MAKING GOVERNMENT WORK FOR YOU​

  • I pledge to take no campaign donations from city contractors: 

​       It is my continued pledge to you the residents and taxpayers of Westland to take no campaign donations from

       contractors who have a business contract with the City of Westland. As well, I will continue to reject donations from any

       corporate-sponsored or funded Political Action Committee (PAC). I will only accept donations from individual people,

       union groups representing the working class, and progressive-focused organizations that work to represent the

       interests of people and protect our environment.

​​

  • Create a searchable database of city spending: 

​       One of the projects I want to work on is to create a searchable database on the City of Westland's website that tracks

       the spending of your tax dollars. I want this database to cover every item of spending​
