Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• As your City-County Councilor, I will hold city leadership accountable to ensure that law enforcement and first responders have the support and resources they need to effectively curb violence and illegal activity in our city, so all residents can enjoy safe streets and neighborhoods.
• Our infrastructure plan is not meeting current needs and is not sustainable moving forward. A report from engineering firm HNTB found that Indianapolis needs at least an additional $635 million in annual funding to maintain its current roads, bridges and other assets. As your councilor, it is a priority of mine to address these shortcomings.
• District 4, which is comprised of the Geist area, Castleton, and northern parts of Lawrence, is an essential economic corridor for both Indianapolis and the surrounding communities. The growth of these areas of the city, particularly Castleton, are being constrained by the city's overall failure to prosecute criminals, address high crime rates, maintain infrastructure and support business development. As a result, businesses and residents have left. As our City-County Councilor, I will use my unique private and public sector experience to spur new economic development and growth that improves residents' quality of life.
