The Best Choice for District 4: A Proven Leader Committed to Strengthening Greensboro’s Economy, Enhancing Community Safety, and Building a Business-Friendly City Where Families Can Thrive and Grow

Let’s work together for Greensboro’s future

My platform consists of these priorities for Greensboro.

Public Safety 👉

Public safety is my top priority. The rising murder rate has not only created a perception that Greensboro is a dangerous community but has also impacted the sense of security for residents, and we must take decisive action to change this narrative and ensure safety for all.

Homelessness and Social Services 👉

Greensboro needs thousands of more attainable homes. This won’t be solved overnight, but steady investments and thoughtful, long-term planning are essential to meet this demand. Addressing this issue is critical not only for economic stability but also for improving the quality of life across our community.

Building a Stronger Economy 👉

Our economy must grow by creating opportunities for all and improving the quality of life for our neighbors. This requires supporting jobs, workforce training, university partnerships, small and large businesses, cutting red tape, improving transportation, and expanding housing options.

Engage, Support, and Grow Our Small Businesses 👉

I will prioritize empowering small businesses—the heartbeat of our community—by reducing red tape, expanding funding opportunities, and fostering growth through strategic initiatives to create jobs, drive innovation, and strengthen neighborhoods citywide.
