Platforms
Promote Affordability & Delivering Services
Increase the supply of affordable housing, provide financial assistance to first-time homebuyers, and offer grants that help residents renovate and remain in their homes. Leverage city-owned land for affordable housing, promote grants that support small businesses and inclusive development to broaden Raleigh’s tax base, and maintain funding for first responders, infrastructure, parks, and community nonprofits that assist those in need.
Transportation
Invest in infrastructure improvements, including street paving, traffic calming, expanded bus service, micro transit, sidewalks, and pedestrian pathways.
Sustainability
Work with community partners to strengthen stormwater management, ensure Raleigh Water has the resources needed to keep our drinking water clean, keep parks and greenways well-maintained, advance environmental justice, and combat litter through both cleanup initiatives and stronger enforcement.
Public Safety
Invest in the retention of law enforcement and Raleigh Fire Department personnel, ensure development projects take the fire master plan and emergency response times into account, fund the Raleigh CARES program for crisis response, and work with Wake County to address the EMS shortage.
Community Engagement
Continue hosting monthly meetings to hear from constituents, encourage participation in local government decision-making through citizen advisory councils, boards, and commissions, and allow residents to join council meetings virtually.
