I am running for District 2 City Councilor because I believe Worcester should be safe and affordable for all residents.
Worcester is growing but people are being left behind. Violent crime is rising and pedestrians are losing their lives. Worcester should be a place where seniors can afford to downsize, young families can buy their first home, and residents feel safe in their neighborhoods and on the roads. Working together, we can make this a reality.
My life has been about overcoming adversity and helping people. In college, I lost my ability to walk. Ever since, I’ve been a disability and housing advocate. I started Friends of Lake Park, served on the Worcester Access Advisory Commission, and currently chair the Worcester Together Affordable Housing Coalition.
You deserve a Worcester that is affordable to you, has quality city services, and is safe to live in. This won’t happen unless your City Councilor is accessible, listens, and is accountable to only you, not special interests. I humbly ask for your vote.
Who is Rob?
Born and raised in Worcester, I grew up on the East Side and come from a civically engaged family where being involved in the community was important. I graduated from North High in 2004 and went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Communications and Urban Studies from Worcester State University in 2010.
My life has been about overcoming adversity and helping people. In college, I lost my ability to walk. Ever since, I’ve been a disability and housing advocate. I have worked for over a decade in the human service field as an advocate and board member, I’ve served on the Worcester Access Advisory Commission for five years, and now serve on the Worcester Human Rights Commission. As a member of the Worcester Together Affordable Housing Coalition, I fought for inclusionary zoning and affordable housing for Worcester families.
I love our neighborhood, our communities, our parks, and vibrant commercial districts. As our city grows we need leadership focused on preserving these things we hold dear while improving quality of life, public safety, and providing better services to our residents. My personal and professional life is committed to assisting Worcester residents and improving our city. As your City Councilor, I will bring that same dedication to you and everyone in District 2.
