For Ward 1
Elect an Alder for student, community, and labor solidarity
Raised by public school employees in a small town in Kentucky, I saw how working people's lives were shaped by corporate powers taking more than they gave. In New Haven, I saw similar inequality due to segregated development Yale has helped create—and people organizing to fight back.
I’ve organized with Students Unite Now since 2022 in a coalition of unions and community organizations fighting for racial and economic justice. This coalition won the increase in Yale's voluntary contribution to New Haven. That’s why I’m running for Alder: New Haven students and residents need to work together to win the funding our city needs for housing and schools.
Bottom line: I am already willing to fight for what we need to thrive - I'd love to expand that work at City Hall!
 1,500 students signed SUN's petition about Yale Health with over 4,000 union members |  I helped inform constituents in my ward about the Yale Financial Aid Settlement in 2024 |  Thank you to everyone who was at my campaign launch, including Shams Goodwin who is leading the fight for good union jobs! |
