Occupation

My Top Issues
Government Reform
One single change I will push for that would drive more long-term benefit to the people of Charlotte than any other is electoral reform through the adoption of a preference voting system, such as Ranked Choice Voting(RCV) or approval voting.
Criminal Justice / Public Safety
As mayor, I will help our police force transition to a true community-based approach. Cops will be respected because they will earn respect. In combination with my policies that will improve neighborhoods and foster economic prosperity, crime will decrease, and cops and civilians alike will reap the benefits.
Housing
The city has failed us. I will ensure that housing prices adjust at a reasonable rate relative to the market, and affordable housing exists for everyone, in all income brackets.
