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​
