Infrastructure / Transportation General funds must be used to grow transit for a more reliable and robust transit system. Microtransit and cycling must be included for greater transit mode opportunities. Environment / Energy The city must match recent federal funding for fortified roofs. The state program is inadequate for the state, let alone New Orleans. I just 2024, 11,000 applicants applied to the state program with only 3,000 available grants. Also, the state must pass a mandatory reduction in insurance premiums for installing these stronger roofs. Social Services The city must expand vouchers for children to reach their potential. Also, the cost of daycare and pre-k is unbearable for working class New Orleanians. Easing the strain on parents is a worthy goal that I will fight to achieve. Environment / Energy The city needs reliable and environmentally friendly power. Entergy continues to invest in polluting power plants and weak power distribution systems. We need a real public power company again, not one making profits for Wall Street. Environment / Energy There are several city or state-owned properties where units can be built (Federal City). Units must be built to Fortified Gold standards to ensure they withstand the effects of hurricanes.
