In times when trust matters the most, our community needs a leader in House District 31 who leads with integrity, possesses a strong knowledge of the law and serves with transparency and accountability. We deserve someone who understands the issues facing our district, but who also has the character and compassion to make thoughtful and ethical decisions on behalf of every resident. Mo demonstrates the character and leadership House Seat District 31 deserves. He doesn’t just talk about change; he works to make it happen.

He understands how local government actually works and how decisions impact neighborhoods. More importantly, he is not afraid to engage tough issues that move ideas from conversation to action. He is capable. He wants the job and I personally believe we need leaders at every stage who can set a proactive agenda.

Kenneth Myers, Jr.
We support Attorney Monier Abusaft. He continues to prove his ability and willingness to leverage his knowledge, compassion and political power to help people and empower his constituents. We have experienced first hand Rosalyn Henderson’s misuse of her political power in her mistreatment of us. She has threatened our careers and livelihood with false allegations against us. And even worse, she has refused to apologize when she was proven wrong.
