On The Issues 

Why I RAN:

I’ve lived in this district for 25 years. This place helped make me into the person I am today. This neighborhood has watched me grow up. I went to school here. I met my life long friends here. I found my voice here. Now I’m giving back. As I have grown as a person, I watched this district grow. This is a vibrant and diverse district with hardworking people. Our neighbors deserve the best and I will fight for everyone who lives here.

Infrastructure:

Our district is a community, and our community deserves solid infrastructure that enhances our way of life. We need sidewalks to keep our residents safe. There are areas where many residence walk to locally owned business. They should not fear the possibility of being hit by a car. District 30 deserves to be a walkable neighborhood just like other parts of town. 

When it comes to zoning, we need to keep the community involved as much as possible so we can continue to grow our community without losing what makes us special. We must continue to push for development that works for the community and that also means more affordable housing.

Transit:

It is important to me that the families that live in the district are able to spend as much time as possible with their family and loved ones. There are steps we can take in our district to make the commuting process smoother. Our neighbors and our children deserve to be safe while waiting for the bus. I will work to make sure as many bus stops in our district have a covered bench. I will work with WeGo to increase the frequency of bus routes in our district. We must build on our existing resources and make them better for our community.

WORKER SAFTY/Rights:

Nashville should work for it’s workers. Nashville is one of the most dangerous cities to work in when it comes to construction in the south. We will continue to fight until all worksites are safe, wage theft does not exist, and people are paid living wages.
