Why are you running?

Having been a resident of Madison for five-and-a-half years and gravitating towards the near west side, it's time to give back to the city that has treated me so well.  I've accepted a full-time position with a biomedical engineering company and look forward to joining the local workforce.  My goal is to bring energy and a fresh perspective to the Common Council while making the most out of my University ties.  There is a call from the near west side for a truly non-partisan candidate that will open up the lines of communication and be responsive to the needs of residents, I am here to answer that call.
