  • Make Little Rock a Great Place to Live by: Prioritizing residents of the city in road/infrastructure planning. Invest in the Arts and Culture of the city. Improve in the pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and be a regional leader in the Central Arkansas Greenway system. Advance public education by advocating for public schools, incentivizing resident public school teachers, and working to extend learning opportunities for our youth. Work within our homeless and unsheltered communities to ensure the needs of every resident of Little Rock is met, housed or not.
  • Create Stronger Neighborhoods by: Implement a stronger, more strategic city planning to make sure growth is happening in ways that are best for the long term viability of Little Rock. Prioritize infill by incentivising rebuilding our vacant lots and rehabilitating structures on our unsafe/vacant list. Adjusting centuries old zoning, building, and planning codes to allow for more affordable housing options. Work with City Directors to identify projects in each ward based on the unique and individual needs of the local neighborhoods. Increase cooperation with neighborhood associations to invest in places where people live through grants, neighborhood watches, and community policing.
  • Invest in Small Businesses by: Create a city based economic development center to plan strategic growth within our business community. Streamline the process for starting a small business and implement a business coordinator as a resource for businesses to get answers and guidance. Focus on retention and expansion efforts for our existing businesses to help them grow. Adjust the city contract bidding process to ensure Little Rock contracts with capable local business when available.
I want to work to make sure the Little Rock enjoyed by my kids, and other kids growing up in the city, is better than what we have now. I believe we can experience the change needed in our city to get there without having to compromise our integrity. To do this I want to make sure Little Rock is a great place to live, that we improve our public safety efforts, we strengthen our neighborhoods, and we invest in our small businesses all while making transparency and accountability more important than ever. I am a lifelong citizen of the Little Rock area and a neighbor to 200,000 other people that share this common connection. I believe that the only way we thrive is if we work on building up all of us collectively. I believe that means listening to people who don’t agree with you, collaborating with people that have a different view of the world, and understanding that our collective power as a city is far better when we make decisions with open ears and an open mind. Join me so we can move Little Rock Forward, Together
