My Top Issues

Housing

Providing a shelter and home first, then addressing the specific support needs of an individual, is proven to be the most effective solution. Our City can, and must, do a better job of addressing the needs of this most vulnerable population.

Economy

Smart and Sustainable growth is important for the health of the entire city – every district and every community.

Infrastructure / Transportation

Sidewalks, greenways, and bike lanes help us access our City more safely and more efficiently. Cars and public transit are also necessary. Smart and sustainable growth considers all of these modes of transport, including accessibility for different abilities, to create a strong network that provides options and flexibility for all who call Knoxville home.

Housing

I will work as your City Council representative to ensure that Knoxville offers citizens a broader spectrum of available and affordable housing options.

Environment / Energy

Green spaces are a key part of sustainable growth and a high quality of life.
