Channel your anger to do good locally. We can make a difference here on the local level. We can work together to creatively solve problems; to defend and protect our friends and neighbors; to create a more inclusive, functional, transparent, and accountable local government; and to elevate the spirit of creativity, ingenuity, passion and determination that will enable the regeneration of neighborhoods, communities, and business.

Buffalo is uniquely positioned to be an inspiring example of hope in the world, but we must work together in every corner of the City to make this vision a reality. I'm running for Mayor because collectively we are most powerful; but there needs to be a collective vision and collective will. I will work tirelessly, everyday, to share and enable your vision. I invite you to contribute with your passion, belief, and time.

Next week we begin the work of petitioning, but it is really the work of engagement, listening, and empowerment. It's the work of democratic participation and mobilization. It's our initial step to demonstrate our strength as a campaign and as a City and People committed to equity, vibrant and healthful communities, inclusion, meaningful and inspiring education and opportunities, and collective action to bring Buffalo in alignment with its full potential.
