<p><strong>Vibrant neighborhoods are the heartbeat of the 45th Ward. </strong>Our business corridors are not getting the support it needs. We’re seeing empty storefronts. Struggling businesses.

I'll change that with a plan to help business owners succeed, bring energy back to our neighborhoods, and make the 45th Ward a place where local entrepreneurs can thrive.</p><p><br></p>

<p><strong>Chicagoans are getting squeezed from every direction. </strong>It's all too much. Three generations live under one roof. People work 2-3 jobs to get by.

Leah knows the ins and outs of city government, and will use that knowledge to connect you to supports and help put money back in your pocket.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Property taxes keep going up. </strong>Streets are full of potholes, basements flood when it rains, and neighborhoods don't always feel safe to navigate. That's unacceptable.

It starts with us.</p><p><br></p>
