Safe Streets & Community Programs

Our commitment to enhanced public safety includes improving street lighting, fostering unity and safety through resident collaboration, supporting neighborhood crime prevention initiatives, and advocating for enhanced community policing. Additionally, we will focus on youth engagement by promoting sports and arts programs, creating safe spaces for kids to play and grow, and implementing year-round youth workforce programming.

Flood Mitigation & Infrastructure

Our vision for sustainable growth includes advocating for community-focused development and ensuring projects incorporate advanced drainage systems to prevent flooding. In terms of flood preparedness, we aim to protect homes and businesses from flooding and strengthen infrastructure to handle heavy rains.

Small Business Development & Blight Mediation

Our focus on supporting local businesses involves increasing grocery options for better resident choices and advocating for resources and incentives for small businesses. To reduce blight, we aim to effectively mediate blight in underserved areas and transform neglected spaces into vibrant community hubs. In terms of job creation, we strive to attract new businesses to create jobs and boost the economy, support existing businesses for success and longevity, and increase Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation with supportive funding.

Inclusive Development

We will ensure that development benefits everyone, from underserved areas to middle-class neighborhoods, by promoting projects that preserve the district’s character and actively listening to and responding to community concerns.
