Alton deserves to be a city people talk about for its progress—not its problems. I remember the days when our streets were bustling, our neighborhoods were thriving, and our families felt safe. It’s time to stop looking back with nostalgia and start moving forward with purpose. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves, take on the tough challenges, and work with you to rebuild Alton. We’re not stuck—we just need the right leadership to move us forward.
