I am running for City Council for a few reasons.


One, I truly love Lincoln and have a strong conviction to run for office.


Two, it is exciting that I have life experiences that will benefit Lincoln.


Three, I can relate to a lot of Lincoln residents because I am an immigrant-refuge, a small business owner, an educator, a healthcare professional, and a conceal-and-carry permit owner.

In my opinion, defunding the police is not good for your safety, for my safety, and for the safety of our children.

A woman should be able to protect herself. It is her decision.

I’m opposed to the death penalty.

Government needs to stay out of healthcare.

What we need to be focusing on is holding various entities accountable for ensuring that they abide by the Hippocratic Oath.

I have many questions about how that is all going to work, and until I get answers to those questions, I will not be able to give an opinion either way. My questions include the following:

• • What have we learned from the opioid crisis?
  • What will we do differently to ensure that appropriate controls are in place?
  • How are we going to keep this “medical” (intention of the bills) rather than “recreational”?
  • What does the process look like from the professional who prescribes it to the person who uses it?
  • Who will dispense the product? Pharmacies can’t since it is a federally illegal substance.
  • How will the financial issues be handled? Banks can’t hold these accounts because they are FDIC-insured.

I will add more questions as I begin dissecting the legislative bills. I can see good and bad. 

All addresses are required to have legible house numbers that are viewable from the street.

In cases where that is not happening, I would work with the city planning to see what we can or should do.
