He was asked,

“Why are you running for office?” It hurts my

heart to see children in our community panhandling for money. I

see a new homeless person near the stop light on 55′ almost

every other day. Trash is polluting our neighborhoods, parks,

lots, and expressways. I would love to be in a position where I

could provide services to people in our community and provide

them with resources and opportunities that they can count on.

Mr. Hughes was asked, “What will you do if elected Alderman

of the Third Ward?” I am a serviceman, and I would

immediately look to service the people with a community

solutions center geared toward assisting people with

employment, resources, opportunities and counseling. We need

healing, relief, and guidance, because times have become so

difficult that we’ve normalized the mentality of surviving when

we could be doing better. I am prepared to lend a helping hand

in promoting the wellness of Third Ward residents. I would like

to install a investing series with workshops focused on

entrepreneurship, financial literacy, investing and real estate.

would promote generational wealth creation for traditionally

underserved communities like ours.
