- Revitalizing Jackson: Unlocking Economic Growth Economic development is key to Jackson’s future. I am committed to fostering an environment where local businesses can thrive, new investments are welcomed, and job opportunities abound. By focusing on continued revitalization efforts, we can create a more prosperous Jackson. Together, we can build a vibrant economy that ensures a bright future where we live, work, and play.
- Clearer Creeks, Safer Roads, Smoother Traffic Building a better Jackson starts with addressing essential infrastructure needs like storm water and creek clearing and grubbing to reduce flooding potential, prioritizing potholes and road repairs to ensure safe and smoother travels across the city, and traffic light improvements/synchronization to improve traffic flow and safety. Let’s pave the way for a brighter future for Jackson.
- Strengthening Neighborhoods, Growing Values Homeownership is a cornerstone of strong communities and personal financial security. I am committed to maintaining and growing home values in Jackson by supporting policies that enhance safety, improve infrastructure, and encourage responsible development. By investing in Jackson, addressing blight, and fostering economic development opportunities, we can build a thriving and flourishing city.
Volunteerism is the heartbeat of a thriving community. Jackson is no different.
