Favorite part of living in Livonia: My favorite part of living in Livonia is that it really is the biggest small town you will find around. You cannot go anywhere without seeing someone you know or meeting someone new who you share a connection with already. And when you add to that our city has so many amenities—everything you need is here and everyone you need is either in town or can be. There is a great balance of convenience and community here in Livonia, to have this combination is truly what makes our city a special place to call home.

Favorite part of living in Livonia: My favorite part of living in Livonia is the community spirit that makes Livonia feel like a smaller town than it is.  We are blessed with highly engaged citizens who take personal responsibility for their hometown, willingly volunteer for a wide variety of community causes, and hold their elected representatives accountable. This high level of engagement has always been and will continue to be key to Livonia’s success. 

What impact can you have as a city council member?: The priorities that have always made Livonia attractive – exceptional public safety, excellent services, beautiful parks, and low taxes – are still in place and attracting a new generation of families.  This will continue as long as we keep electing leaders of integrity with a focus on government efficiency.  In my four years on Council, I have frequently been complimented by city employees and residents for my careful preparation, insightful questions, willingness to listen to citizen concerns, and a disciplined commitment to making decisions based on what is best for the community.  I am grateful for the opportunity to serve.

Favorite part of living in Livonia: The main reason my family chose to relocate to Livonia over 20 years ago was the plethora of available educational, entertainment, cultural and athletic opportunities.  With four children came a broad diversity of interests.  Livonia was and continues to be one of the few communities in Southeast Michigan that has “something for everyone.”

Occupation: Small Business Owner - Gjonaj Group

Education: Livonia Churchill High School; Schoolcraft College 

Previous elected experience: Mayoral appointed Livonia City Commissioner-Arts Commission

Family: My family immigrated to America in the 1980’s from communist Yugoslavia. I have a dad, mom, and three younger brothers.

Favorite part of living in Livonia: The strong sense of community, the quality of life, the people who make this city Families First. We have first class services from our first responders, the police and fire department, who keep Livonia safe every day. We offer our senior residents supportive services and are attracting new families to Livonia each day through our strong public schools. But my favorite part about being a Livonian is how we support our veterans. As someone who serves in the military, I believe it is important to support the men and women who served their country, and it’s up to us to now serve them when their back home. 

What impact can you have as a city council member?: My family immigrated with nothing but an opportunity and work ethic that they instilled in their children. They wanted a better life for their kids, an opportunity for us to go to schools like Livonia’s, to have the freedoms that only this country offers. It’s why I joined the military and police department, and why I am running. I want to serve and give back. I’m bringing a servant leader work ethic and values to this position that the people choose. I want to represent my neighbors and work hard with a solutions driven approach and open door policy to work with everyone.​

What impact can you have as a city council member?: I believe that with my experience as a former school board member and managing millions of dollars of municipal bids and contracts annually that I can bring a different perspective to the city council.

Right now this is not happening and I am the right person to bring these discussions to the table.
