Progress is being made in restoring our roads and sidewalks around Washington Square.
I will continue to advocate for their complete restoration for the safety of both pedestrians and drivers.

Today I got to visit FSU's Interdisciplinary Social Science Program's Social Problems Course and talk about what challenges our community is facing, as so many are.
Policy decisions are community decisions that can either worsen these challenges or solve them.
Thank you for having me!
