I am a life long Madisonian and an alumna of West High School and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I was elected in 2015, making my election a historical moment by being one of the first African American woman elected to the Madison Common Council in 125 years.
Over the past 20 years, I have been actively involved in the Madison community. In 2008 I launched the "See something, Say something, Make the Call" campaign in Arbor Hills and Leopold neighborhoods. I worked closely with Penn Park Partners to increase summer programs in Penn Park. I also served as President of South Metropolitan Planning Council and became very aware of the concerns of each neighborhood represented by the council. As a member of the Nine Springs Health Assessment Committee, I worked closely with the Public Health of Madison/Dane County staff and community residents to assess the benefits to expand our parks in our community.
Prior to my election as Alder, I served as the President of Arbor Hills Neighborhood Association for over 10 years, and initiated several community projects in Arbor Hills and worked closely with the Leopold Neighborhood Association. I believe the best part of living in District 14 is the diversity of the residents, the uniqueness of each neighborhood and being surrounded by nature; the Arboretum, the E-Way, and lake Monona. I am proud to represent everyone in South Madison.
The City of Madison is a good place to live but we need to ensure that it is a good place to live for everyone. We live in a time of extreme ideological views and division throughout the City. Madison needs an Alder that can work across various ideological lines and bring people together. Someone who will listen to all voices not just that of special interest. One who has a proven track record of leadership with pandemic and budgetary constraints and one who will not treat people of color as monolithic group.
