If you look 👀 at my past, you won't see a polished traditional political resume. Years ago, I made choices I am not proud of. I was deep in the drug game making money, chasing shadows, and living a life that ultimately led to a dead end. I know what it looks like when a community feels forgotten, because I was part of the problem, and I watched the streets chew up people I cared about.
At a certain point, I had to look in the mirror and decide if I wanted to keep being part of the decay or start being part of the cure. I gave up the hustle, turned my back on that life, as you all know and chose a harder, more honest path: now doing the work to lift up the neighborhood that raised me is my life’s mission.
Everyday people have asked me why a guy with my background thinks he belongs in politics. My answer is simple: Because the people currently running things have never walked a mile in our shoes.👞
Too many politicians talk about crime, poverty, and broken neighborhoods like they're reading data points off a spreadsheet. They don't know what it's like to navigate systemic failure, to struggle for a second chance, or to watch local businesses and families get squeezed by high utility bills, failing schools, and a housing crisis that feels impossible to escape. I do. I’ve lived it, I've survived it, and I’ve spent years working hard every single day to make things right for for my home and family 🏡
Redemption isn't just about forgiving the past; it’s about proving your worth in the present. I am running for State Representative because our state capitol needs less empty rhetoric and more people who actually know how to fight for working families, small business owners, landlords and tenants, and everyday folks who just want a fair shot in the world 🌎
I’ve changed my life, and now I want to help change our state. I'm asking for your trust, your voice, and your vote so we can shake up the status quo and build a safer, stronger future for District 13.

To the voters of District 13 and all my constituents.
I Might not be that Brown university Ivy League Candidate ,or Hold A master’s degree in Western civics .But what i will be for my district is the voice for the residents . I understand State Rep is technically a part-time job, but this kind of workload can turn into a full time position And I am familiar What the Job Entails.
I am anxious to start Drafting & Sponsoring Bills: Writing sponsoring state-level legislation from housing policy and tax laws to traffic rules and labor protections .Committee Work is of great importance ,I vow to Attending committee hearings on school Finance, Labor, keep my eyes 👀 on the Judicial floor where bills are debated, amended, or killed . I won’t miss Floor Voting I will Attending every sessions at the State House in Providence I know it’s usually Tuesday through Thursday, January to June , i am a landlord with property I also uber & Lyft so my time is manageable and I will dedicate it to the people .i will debate and vote on state laws and try to lower the multi-billion dollar state budget. I will be a liaison between everyday citizens and state agencies. If an individual has trouble getting unemployment benefits, dealing with the DMV, navigating SNAP benefits, or addressing local road/infrastructure issues, they call their State Rep don’t be shy reach out and touch me Like AT&t lol 😂 I vow to be a stickler on Budget & Resource Allocation Deciding how state tax dollars get spent, including funding for local schools, public transit, local parks, and municipal grants that directly impact your district. as state representative I
Don’t Have to Be "In the Streets" or in the Neighborhood daily my job requirements only that attend sessions at the State House, vote on legislation, serve on assigned committees, and maintain residency in my district. As a representative I could theoretically just Chill at the State House on phone calls all day and rarely walk the streets.but I won’t I will be the hood or suburb District 13 is a small, hispanic minority populated community in working-class Providence/Johnston neighborhoods so I feel being physically visible is critical for several reasons .
One Districts are small Ri House districts are geographically compact compared to almost anywhere else in the country. People should expect to see their representative at local community meetings, block parties, youth sports events, merchant association meetings, and neighborhood cleanups.
Knowing real-world issues: The fastest way a rep learns if a specific street has a speeding problem, a landlord issue, or a flooding concern is by physically walking the blocks and talking to business owners and residents directly.
While sitting inside the State House making laws is the official duty, staying active on the neighborhood streets is what keeps a state rep connected to their voters and in office.
