Campaign website
Parr's campaign website stated the following:
Bringing Democracy to Metro Government
Every year Metro Council is given the opportunity to prioritize the public good over corporate profits and police overspending. Currently, there is only one community budget hearing to allow public comment on this process. We need to expand programs that allow for citizen participation in how funds are spent, and set a goal of having a pool of money in every Metro Council District and citywide that is appropriated directly by people during open, accessible, democratic community meetings. We can begin modeling that here in District 9, and I will establish a district advisory council that will be an organizing force in our district so we can decide how to use our discretionary funds together.
A Budget That Works for Working People
When we democratize our budget, we can invest in public services like our parks and libraries that give kids somewhere safe to go. When we end the cruel and wasteful practice of clearing homeless encampments, we can refocus on building affordable and supportive housing as well as mental health and substance abuse treatment. When we stop throwing money at the impossible task of ending crime with force, we can invest in community-based violence prevention and youth services. We can address big problems like food deserts by using innovative solutions like municipally owned and operated grocery stores.
Standing Up to Corporations
Our government is not a business and shouldn’t behave like one. Instead of starving our city by granting developers special tax breaks, we can use our funds to benefit our communities directly. I will be an independent voice for District 9 even if this contradicts Mayor Greenberg’s big business agenda, because the needs of the many come first. In a democratic socialist model we can support public groceries, free buses, and affordable housing. We can end our dependency on fossil fuels by bringing LG&E into public ownership and moving them away from coal. I will stand with the working class in Louisville in loudly opposing hyperscale data center construction in our city, but until we own our public energy we have little say in our resources being given away to profit LG&E and other out-of-state corporations. Our vision of sustainable economic development means supporting both local industry and local workers. We will establish a multi-million dollar fund dedicated to helping people form worker-owned cooperatives, and help businesses transition to employee ownership.
Fighting Back Against Frankfort and Trump
Louisville must be a city that protects our most vulnerable. We must fight for a transgender safe haven ordinance that dictates our public dollars not be spent on oppression, and that we make compliance as the lowest priority of law enforcement if federally dictated. We must not comply in advance with ICE or attacks on immigrants in our city. We must not cower to threats from Republicans in Frankfort or DC—I will never vote to water down local laws like Metro Council did when it gutted our lead abatement ordinance at the behest of the Republicans in Frankfort.
