Chelsea Richard

Education I am committed to transparent, collaborative leadership that ensures every tax dollar is spent on proven strategies to prepare our students for the modern workforce. Wages / Job Benefits I will advocate for transparent growth that connects our 10,000 unemployed neighbors to new career pathways and empowers our local small business core to thrive. Infrastructure / Transportation I will ensure fiscal stewardship and community-led planning to our Penny Tax investments, ensuring we finally modernize our corridors like Broad River Road, Harden Street, and Assembly Street to be safe and accessible for everyone. Housing I will build on nonprofit and government partnerships to revitalize these spaces and secure the sustainable, affordable housing our residents deserve. Education I will use my expertise to champion community-driven, innovative financing that ensures every kindergartner starts school ready to learn.
