I’m running for the Ward 2 seat on the Providence City Council.

This is a perilous time for American democracy. Every day we see new atrocities committed by the President and his allies, and it's easy to feel helpless to fight back. My way of coping with that feeling of hopelessness has been to find ways I can make a difference, large or small.  

That’s why I’m running to represent our community on the Providence City Council. While there’s only so much that any of us can do individually to stop Trump, everything we do collectively matters. Right now, I can advocate and fight for a future for our city that reflects our shared values. 

We need Providence to be welcoming, safe, and affordable—for young people graduating from our colleges, for families raising children, and for seniors who want to age in place. This must be a city where immigrants, LGBTQIA+ neighbors, and people with disabilities feel supported and valued. Ward 2 has a tradition of thoughtful, hardworking city councilors, and I will continue that legacy while also meeting the urgency of this moment. That means putting in the hard work to find fair and equitable solutions to the budget, schools, and housing—and being ready to fight back against the looming MAGA assault on our city. I am ready to do both.

I’m running to give back to the place where I’ve lived, worked, and raised my family for 27 years. From coaching in the Fox Point East Side Little League to my legal work for our small businesses, I’ve always worked to contribute to what makes Providence so special. I’ll bring that same commitment and thoughtfulness to City Hall, ensuring that our community’s voices are heard and our values are represented.

As a lawyer and advocate, I’ve provided pro bono legal work to stop Republican election theft, defended civil liberties through volunteer work with the ACLU, and supported passage of progressive policies like paid leave and fair taxation through my board service with the Economic Progress Institute. On the Council, I’ll bring relentless advocacy, legal expertise, and a deep love of this community to make sure Providence works for everyone.

I hope we have the chance to talk as I go door-to-door meeting residents over the next 2 months.
I would love to hear from you. You can send me a message here.

I hope I can earn your vote in the special Democratic primary election for Providence City Council Ward 2.
