Sharif Street is a compassionate problem-solver with a can-do attitude and a willingness to fight our fights.  For eleven years he has worked for us as an affordable housing and development attorney, town-watch organizer, and chief legislative advisor to Senator Shirley Kitchen.

"I will continue to reach across neighborhood divides and beyond narrow interests to lead a district-wide approach to protecting, sustaining and growing home ownership opportunities in our communities. There is not a family in this city that has not been touched by drug abuse. We must create a more intelligent approach to addressing nonviolent drug offenders so it does not overwhelm the system. Our schools must be sanctuaries for our children. They must be safe from violence, from bullying, and from the outside influences that stifle education."
