Asheville City Council

Top Issues

Government Reform Our government should be reachable, understandable, and present in our neighborhoods. As Helene recovery continues and the I-26 connector project begins, now is a crucial time for decision makers to look out for those who live and work here. Government Reform City decisions should be directed by and reflective of community needs - not just special interests. I support public meetings and check ins, participatory budgeting, transparency in spending and prioritizing public input. Government Reform Asheville must invest in people - not just profit. I support investment in economic sustainability, housing solutions that prioritize people who live and work here, youth programs and workforce development.
