BUILDING A STRONG AND INCLUSIVE WILMINGTON FOR All RESIDENTS
TRUST & TRANSPARENCY
DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT DISPLACEMENT
DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT DISPLACEMENT
Elected officials have a responsibility to keep voters informed. All government actions and legislation should be introduced with clear intentions.
My focus is to bring trust and transparency to city government by promoting accountability, providing up to date information on what local government is doing, and disclosing all relevant information so that citizens can make informed decisions.

DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT DISPLACEMENT
Wilmington is growing, but it should never be at the expense of current residents. Community development should benefit all residents, without regard to economic status. Development is about more than attracting higher-income residents and investors. We must not neglect the needs of our existing residents and neighborhoods. My focus is on revitalizing our neighborhoods by promoting investment in new affordable housing and making sure vacant properties are returned to livable status in order to bolster our housing stock. By bringing diverse community voices to the table and identifying common interests we can ensure development is done in a way that empowers the entire community.
FEES & FINES REFORM
FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY
FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY
Wilmington generates a disproportionate percentage of revenue from fines and fees. Not only is this an unsustainable funding model for our government, but it also disproportionately affects those with the least means. Fines and fees have created undue financial burdens on too many Wilmington residents, trapping many in a cycle of poverty and legal penalties.
My focus is to recognize the harms of fines and fees within our community and ensure that they do not place a disproportionate burden on vulnerable communities.

FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY
Our representatives have to be held accountable for how taxpayer dollars are spent and how funds are used to better the city. They have a responsibility to directly respond to the needs of their constituents. My focus is to push for fiscal policies that promote strong and sustainable growth, reduce economic hardship, and overall make Wilmington a better place for all residents. Government leaders have a responsibility to cut waste and promote more efficient spending.
