Proven Leader. Progressive Problem-Solver. Fighting for Aurora.

Aurora is an incredible place to call home. My wife has made a career as a teacher here, we have raised our wonderful family here, and now I want to fight for Aurora in the State House. I will always stand up for the working-families in our community, I will fight for racial justice and equality, and I will make sure our neighbors get the help they need.

My Goals

Protect Our Environment

Support Students

Make Housing Affordable

Meet Michael

All my life I have done everything I can to serve my community. From the military to the Aurora School board, I know how to get things done for our neighbors. I am the son of a single, unwed mother who sacrificed to provide for our family. I’m a proud husband and father of three. And I have worked as a defense attorney to help our neighbors get a fair shot in our justice system. I’m prepared to solve the challenges that Aurora faces and bring real solutions for regular families, our underserved communities, and our students.
