Our political system is broken and outdated approaches have left too many issues unaddressed.

For the past 30 years, baby boomers and members of the Silent Generation have driven and defined politics. Yet, the generations that are going to have to deal with the consequences of these decisions often aren’t at the table. Meanwhile, our political system is broken and outdated approaches have left too many issues unaddressed.

It’s time to break the cycle of dysfunction and ensure that those who will inherit the future have a real say in shaping it.

Born to Ghanaian immigrants and raised in Stratford, Connecticut, l have dedicated my life to public service and community. My academic background in political science and urban development, combined with hands-on experience from AmeriCorps NCCC, has prepared me to address the pressing issues facing our communities—affordable housing, climate resilience, civic engagement, and mental health.
