| Collapse all
- Pro-safety and Crime-intolerant. First, I will find the wasteful spending inside the City Council annual budget and push to reallocate more dollars and resources to CMPD and Chief Johnny Jennings as quickly as possible. I 100% support increasing the overall funding to CMPD for stronger efforts at retention and recruiting of CMPD officers. Meeting the rise in crime and violent crime requires more officers and resources, and I support Chief Jennings in building and sustaining a police force that is commensurate with the world-class vision that Charlotte City leaders want to have.
- Affordable Housing. I am opposed to the deleterious sections of the 2040 Plan, especially the removal of Single-Family Zoning. The citizens in the areas without HOA’s will be pushed out and left behind. I believe this program will not address the very populations that it was intended to help. These vibrant and special communities of Charlotte need our resources to help them grow their neighborhoods from the inside-out. There is no need to break up communities, neighborhoods and houses where generations have lived for many years.
- Transportation and CATS Driver Safety. Transportation needs from the City are regressing with the rapid rise of our populations. And the current trajectory of our City will leave behind many populations and communities that rely on public transportation. I want to address this from within these communities to satisfactorily create transportation-safe zones and reliable schedules that smaller cities like Portland, OR, have. And I will push to protect our CATS drivers from any harm from bad actors that see them as easy targets of abuse and violence.
