I am seeking re-election to the Raleigh City Council with a commitment to broadening housing accessibility and affordability, advancing Bus Rapid Transit in alignment with affordable housing efforts, partnering with the small business department to strengthen economic development, and fostering initiatives that support youth and young adults.
Issues:
Housing Affordability
Housing affordability presents a significant challenge for both low-income individuals and the middle class. Recent efforts have focused on expanding housing variety within the city and streamlining the permitting process to help reduce costs. I am committed to further increasing housing options along transit corridors and supporting additional funding initiatives to assist seniors in remaining in their homes.
Transit Infrastructure
The implementation of the Bus Rapid Transit plan and enhancements to the overall bus system will continue to be a primary priority in the next term. Additionally, I am committed to advancing sidewalk improvements and expanding greenway connectivity, facilitating greater resident access not only to public transit but also to parks, schools, and retail centers. My goal is to ensure that our transportation infrastructure more effectively supports and integrates with the needs of our communities.
Youth Empowerment
Over the years, I have provided both financial and personal support to youth programs. I have encouraged city staff to seek partnerships with non-profit organizations that empower young people. As a result of my initiative, our staff implemented internships across multiple departments. I am committed to further promoting positive engagement with, for, and among our youth.
