HOW WE DO IT"Continuing to blame the past for the prospect of a dire future is a zero-sum game."
HOW WE CHANGE IT"It's 2025—technology will pave our road to success, and there is no excuse not to use it."



Open Letter to the Residents of Sheffield
It’s early in the race, but I’m not waiting to start the conversation. I’ve spent the last four years preparing for this moment—not for politics, but for progress.
I’ve written a letter to the people of Sheffield—a candid look at why I’m running, what I believe, and how we move forward together.
Core Promises
I am committed to restoring transparency, fostering economic growth, and ensuring that every resident’s voice is heard in shaping Sheffield’s future. My core promises are designed to modernize public services, create local job opportunities, and implement accountable governance that delivers real results.
