Issues

Supporting police-community dialogue and trust-building

After seeing first hand the need for an open dialogue in our public schools between students, parents and our local police, I firmly believe the need is great in our town to open avenues for residents of our community to come together with local law enforcement to appreciate and better educate their respective needs.

Addressing aging infrastructure in residential areas

The infrastructure in our ward is overdue for improvements and I believe now is the time to educate my constituents on what it will take to make this happen while opening the door to new avenues to increase revenue necessary to make those improvements happen.

Attracting and retaining businesses

Fayetteville needs some momentum to attract and retain new business opportunities. Our city has a diverse culture that prioritizes small business, but I believe we can do a better job of educating those businesses as to the resources they need to succeed while making the process of setting up shop as a new business as easy as possible for those looking to make Fayetteville their home for their business.
