I believe there are vast differences, especially when compared to the other candidates in the race for which I am running – Super District 9, Position 1.

I believe the people of Memphis have had enough of the career politicians who have run this city for years, and who too often appear to be more interested in lining their own pockets and those of their friends, than in looking out for the citizen’s needs. I am running against an incumbent who has benefitted greatly from city projects and the Chamber of Commerce‘s influence over city expenditures.

I will owe no favors and will not be influenced by greed. I have heart, passion, and the willingness to endure hard work. I also seem to better understand the needs of the citizens, the responsibilities of a city administration, and the value of investing in people before buildings.

I have a background of over 12 years in communications, non-profit, and for-profit management, and currently run my own consulting business, in addition to being a professor of Communications at Concorde Career College.

Even though my background has been diverse, one thing has remained constant – my ability to be resourceful, versatile, and goal-oriented with proven leadership ability, as well as a unique combination of creativity and analytical skills which has allowed me to create cost-effective, profitable, and innovative solutions.

Last but certainly not least, I offer a positive attitude, creative problem solving ability, and an uncompromising integrity. These characteristics and skills combine to make me a stand-out candidate for City Council.
