In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Growing up in the foster care system, living on the streets at times the struggles are real. This lifestyle gave me two options become a statistic or a part of society. With that being said taking the American dream and working hard I own a small business and a home also have a foundation Bucco's Rising stars which is near and dear to my heart. This just does not happen without hard work, making tuff decisions and staying true to who I am.”
“For way too long we have had politicians always focused on themselves, forgetting about who voted them in and why they voted them in. As a leader our focus should be about the people not the politics. Our communities need to start thriving again. For this to happen we need serious people who truly understand what public service is about and means.”
