My Mission Statement
Vision
I envision an Atlantic City that shines as a beacon of safety, prosperity, and unity. A city where our neighborhoods are safe and welcoming, where every street is well-lit and patrolled, and where locals, families, and tourists can walk without fear. I see a place where small businesses thrive, built by the dreams and grit of hardworking local entrepreneurs, and where young people grow up surrounded by opportunity, discipline, and hope. My vision includes classrooms that inspire, parks filled with laughter, and a government that reflects the values of the people it serves. I see Atlantic City not just as a tourist destination, but as a place people are proud to call home. A place where futures are built and families are rooted.
Mission
My mission is to “Invest in our Youth, to Build a Better Tomorrow” — a simple yet powerful truth that reflects my core belief: that the strength of our City tomorrow depends on how we support and guide our young people today. I am committed to bringing principled, common-sense leadership to City Hall. Leadership that doesn't just talk, but listens to the people, responds with urgency, and acts with purpose. That means showing up, staying engaged, and being accountable, not only during election season, but every single day.
I will focus relentlessly on the priorities that matter most: making our streets safer, investing in our youth, growing our economy, and revitalizing the basic city services that residents rely on. From cleaning up neglected parks and streets to ensuring first responders have what they need, from mentoring programs in our schools to cutting red tape for small businesses, my mission touches every corner of Atlantic City life. At the core of everything I do is a fierce defense of taxpayer dollars and a firm commitment to rebuilding trust in local government—because transparency and integrity are not optional; they are essential.
I believe in a government that protects, strengthens, and uplifts our families, especially our youth, by investing in their future, encouraging their development, and creating pathways to success. That means providing safe neighborhoods where children can play freely, modern classrooms where they can learn and grow, and real opportunities that help them rise above hardship and reach their full potential. We need to build an Atlantic City where no one gets left behind, where hard work is rewarded, and where our next generation feels seen, supported, and valued.
My leadership will be grounded in results, not rhetoric. I bring a deep respect for the working families who pay their taxes, raise their children, and contribute to the heartbeat of our city every day. They deserve more than promises, they deserve action, stability, and a local government that works for them. In a time when too many leaders are focused on blame and division, I am focused on building and delivering. We need less politics and finger-pointing and more action!
I’m ready to lead that charge with real, practical solutions, solutions rooted in hands-on experience, guided by the voices of our neighborhoods, and driven by the urgent needs of the people. This isn’t about chasing headlines; it’s about building a future. It’s about restoring faith in our institutions, responding to our challenges with courage, and doing the hard work it takes to transform vision into reality. Together, we can turn the page and write a new chapter for Atlantic City, one defined by unity and opportunity for all!
Core Values
1. Personal Responsibility
I believe every individual, especially our youth, deserve the opportunity to grow into their full potential. That growth begins with building character: discipline, respect, self-reliance, and a strong moral foundation. I will champion programs and initiatives that build these values from an early age, ensuring every child knows their worth and their potential.
2. Fiscal Accountability
Taxpayers deserve transparency and efficiency. I will audit, track, and scrutinize city spending to ensure every dollar is used wisely. Waste, fraud, and inefficiency will have no place under my watch. My goal is to do more with less, focusing resources on what truly matters: safety, education, infrastructure, and economic opportunity.
3. Community Engagement
We are strongest when we work together. I will foster collaboration between residents, civic groups, churches, and businesses to solve problems and shape policy. Volunteerism and mentorship will be supported, and residents will have clear channels to voice their concerns and ideas. Atlantic City belongs to all of us, and it’s time we build it together.
4. Integrity & Transparency
I will operate with an open book. From public meetings to budget decisions, my office will be grounded in honesty, accessibility, and service. No backroom deals. No hidden agendas. Just public servants doing the public’s work, with respect and transparency.
5. Faith in the Future
I believe in our city’s potential. In the resilience of our families. In the strength of our values. I believe that through hard work, faith, and perseverance, Atlantic City’s best days are still ahead. I will lead with hope and determination, inspired by what’s possible.
Policy Priorities
1. Public Safety
Safe neighborhoods are the foundation of a strong city. I will work closely with police and first responders to increase patrols, reduce crime, and build trust between law enforcement and the community. We need better street lighting, neighborhood watch programs, and public safety infrastructure. Every resident deserves to feel safe—whether they live uptown, downtown, or anywhere in between.
2. Youth Development
We must invest in our children NOW, before problems become crises. I will launch comprehensive youth programs that provide mentorship, job training, and academic support. After-school programs, internships with local businesses, and youth leadership councils will ensure our young people are engaged and empowered.
3. Economic Growth
Small/Local businesses are the heart of our economy. I will work to reduce red tape, create tax incentives for startups, and bring back tourism through smart marketing and event promotion. By investing in entrepreneurship and hospitality, we can create local jobs and new opportunities for our residents.
4. Streamlined City Services
Government should work for the people, plain and simple. I will push to modernize our city departments, improve communication with residents, ensure proper code enforcement without corruption, and reduce bureaucratic delays. From housing permits to trash collection, every service must be reliable, efficient, and friendly. City Hall should be a place that solves problems, not creates them.
5. Infrastructure & Public Spaces
I will fight to revitalize our parks, schools, roads, and public buildings. We need cleaner streets, updated recreational spaces, and a focus on beautifying our city. Our environment should reflect our pride, and offer every resident a better quality of life.
Commitment to Community
I was born and raised right here in Atlantic County. I have lived a majority of my live in Ocean City. I have been coming to Atlantic City for my entire life! I loved AC so much that I decided to move here permanently! I love the residents, I love the community, and I love the energy, the history, and the resilience that lives in every corner of this city! I’ve walked the same sidewalks, shopped the same stores, and experienced the same ups and downs that come with living in a place you care about. I’ve spent my life in service, whether it was in the dental clinic helping families access care, in the classroom educating the next generation, or at the Boys & Girls Club supporting youth development. I’ve worked with the Salvation Army, participated in local drives, and sat side by side with those facing hardship. Through it all, one truth has remained: this city is filled with good people who deserve better.
That’s why I’m running, not for power, but for purpose. I want to bring my hands-on experience, my values, and my heart into City Hall. To serve with humility. To act with courage. And to remember that real change comes from listening and working together.
Focus on Service
Public office is not a prize, it’s a responsibility. Government should serve the people, not the other way around. I will lead by example: showing up, getting involved, and making results happen. I bring real-world experience and a track record of service. I’m not interested in empty promises! I’m interested in fixing what’s broken and building what’s next!
Whether it’s advocating for a struggling family, supporting a small business owner, or fighting for better conditions in our schools, I will lead with action. Because our residents don’t need more slogans, they need solutions!
Atlantic City has been through a lot. But we are not defined by our challenges; we are defined by our strength, our faith, and our willingness to fight for a better tomorrow. That’s the kind of city I believe in. And that’s the city I will work to build every single day.
Conclusion
Leadership starts with listening. Change starts with courage. And success starts with service. I’m ready to serve Atlantic City—not with politics, but with purpose. Let’s light our streets, lift our families, and lead our city into a new chapter. Let’s Fix Atlantic City Together!
