I have spent countless hours listening to your concerns, hopes, and dreams for Monroe. I have witnessed the challenges we face, but I have also seen the incredible potential that lies within our community. It is this potential that fuels my determination to lead and bring about positive change. We must make our city safe again. The issue of crime in Monroe cannot be ignored any longer. The current mayor avoids discussing the alarming crime rates at every turn because he knows he has failed you.
