Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 word limit)

I have a 12 year career of investing in our Community and working with those who many have left behind, and I have post-graduate degrees in language and business. I have forged relationships with everyone from the homeless to C-Suite executives and have the ability to bridge these groups.

2. How would you balance the City Budget? (100 word limit)

I would balance the City Budget by earmarking revenue as it comes in for specific and strategic purposes. I would also revisit how we utilize property & income tax and see if there are more fiscally responsible uses for both regarding allocation. I would continue our investment in job-growth initiatives that attract & retain our City's workforce as a means of growing the population AND giving the City more revenue for its budget. Lastly, I would look for those areas where there is duplication of service and/or unnecessary allotment of capital and find ways to cut or streamline said areas.

3. Plan Cincinnati calls for the city to adopt a citizen engagement policy. What would you include in such a policy? (100 word limit)

I would include items such as mandatory "open office hours" for Council members on a weekly basis, subcommittees of citizens (not selected or elected officials), and Council Meetings that rotate between the 52 neighborhoods to promote engagement. Furthermore, I propose a small business/social service subcommittee that is used to help oversee the mixed-income transformation of neighborhoods like Over-the-Rhine. One thing is for certain, many feel disconnected from City Hall in our City, and re-opening those lines of communication is of the utmost importance.
