Issues

Participatory budgeting

Shortly before deciding to run for Metro Council, I had been volunteering with our local Participatory Budget group. It was a wonderful way to see and hear what people want in their neighborhoods, what was truly important to them. Nashville is a growing city but has managed to hold on to a small-town feel because of these opportunities.

Fund fire and rescue services

Nashville has been growing at a rate of 3000 people a month for many years, but we have not increased our First Responder teams. We need to add Fire Stations and Police Precincts in our fastest-growing areas. This means funding the open positions we have now and the ones we need for these new residents of our Metro area.

Improve stormwater management

As Nashville has grown we have been slow to address the aging infrastructure. Including our stormwater management system. I am currently watching a culvert replacement being done on my street that is many years past due. So much so three houses at this point in the road regularly have flooded into their homes' lowest level and are unable to exit their driveways. Many properties are still bearing the scars of the 2010 100-year flood.
