The plan

Four big moves for the next four years.

  • Buses every 10 minutes

    Frequent service on every major street, and free fares for kids and seniors.

  • 10,000 new homes

    Legalize apartments near transit and build social housing on city land.

  • Green jobs

    A city program to retrofit every public building, staffed by union apprentices.

  • Safe streets

    Protected bike lanes, better lighting and violence interrupters in every ward.

Organizer. Planner. Neighbor.

Andre spent a decade planning bus routes for the Demo Area Transit Authority, then left to organize tenants facing eviction on the north side. Together they won the city's first right-to-counsel law.

He knows how the city works, and who it leaves out.
