Angela Aiken

Environment / Energy She will demand a county-led environmental remediation assessment, mandatory environmental impact reviews with genuine community input before any infrastructure project is approved near residential areas, and active accountability for what was taken from New Washington Heights, including pursuing the return of community land. Healthcare She will fight for targeted county investment to address food deserts, preservation of community green space, expanded and accessible mental health services, and sustainable funding for the historic community centers that anchor neighborhood identity and serve as the backbone of community resilience. Environment / Energy Angela will push for a moratorium on new industrial or waste-related siting adjacent to majority-minority residential communities in District 23. Infrastructure / Transportation She will demand a full equity audit of infrastructure investment across the district, where money has gone, and where it hasn't; and advocate for community-controlled input into capital improvement priorities. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Angela will apply direct, sustained pressure on SCDOT to implement the safety improvements on White Horse Road and other dangerous corridors that have been studied to death and never acted upon. Housing She will demand meaningful community input before any development approval in historically Black neighborhoods, and push for renter protection ordinances that give tenants real rights and real recourse. Housing She will advocate for a Greenville County Housing Court modeled on Charleston County's pilot program that reduced evictions by 30%. Housing Angela will fight for anti-displacement protections for long-time residents in rapidly changing neighborhoods.
