Passionate Democrat running for Lawrence Common Council committed to creating a more equitable and inclusive community through progressive policies and action.
I am truly honored to share that I’ve been elected as President of the Lawrence Common Council for 2025.
Thank you to my fellow councilors for placing your trust in me, and I’m looking forward to working together to serve our city and make this a year of progress and prosperity
Lawrence started the year with nearly $5.7 million from the American Rescue Plan. Thanks to Mayor Whitfield and the Lawrence Common Council, we've finalized a thoughtful spending plan that focuses on what matters most: our safety and essential services.
In a nation where some teachers are earning less than $40,000 a year, that is a respect issue.
To respect our teachers, we must pay them a living wage.
#MayDay serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for fair wages, safe working conditions, and dignified treatment for all. May we continue to stand in solidarity with workers everywhere, advocating for their rights and championing their efforts towards a more equitable world.
A massive congratulations to my incredible wife for graduating from the Lawrence Township Teacher Leadership Academy. Her dedication to education and leadership shines bright.
So proud of you, Jessica!

The powers that be are only able to buy elections because they don't have to sway the majority of voters. They only have to sway the small number who show up. Are you happy to let our government get bought every year? Show up and vote.
Exciting news! #EarlyVoting opens TOMORROW!
Your chance to make your voice heard is just around the corner. Let's make a difference together!
