"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little."

Franklin D. Roosevelt

 LIST OF ISSUES

SAFETY AND SECURITY

Working with police and fire departments throughout the district is a priority. We will ensure they have the tools required to protect and serve our communities. I will work to continue making human trafficking a priority and bring mental healthcare to treat instead of incarcerating our mentally ill. We can work to provide more mental health training to law enforcement, advocate for criminal justice reforms, and support returning citizens to become functioning working citizens. As a former member of a security team within the Romulus Public Schools, I've learned the value of a safe environment for our district. We Can Do Better!

COMMUNICATION

Having a well-informed constituency is important to create public awareness and to hold leaders accountable. Once elected, our officed will utilize internet meetings, social media accounts, and in person events to remain connected. Residents cannot have transparency or accountability without access to the information from the county commission. The most powerful tool in our arsenal to improve the relationship with the commissioner is listening. Leaders should hear their constituents' concerns to remain in touch with the district they represent. We Can Do Better!

INFRASTRUCTURE MODERNIZATION

Michigan roadways ranked among the worst in the county. Wayne County should lead on using new innovation to find long term solutions to our deteriorating roads and bridges. Fixing the roads are a priority, but we cannot neglect our electrical, sewer, water, or internet network. We need not just the repairs, but the modernization of our entire infrastructure. This may take time, but it would improve economic growth, job creation, improve safety, and improve our overall quality of life. Investing in solar street lights would save tax payer dollars and reduce stress on our energy grid. We Can Do Better!

DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION

Developing low-cost energy efficient housing is vital to address the housing crisis. Residents on fixed incomes, single parents, low income, and seniors should have access to affordable homes. Improving our public transportation is the biggest growth indicator that provides higher access to jobs. This may include access to rail, bus, sidewalks, bike lanes, and expanding for more lanes on some roads. We Can Do Better!

CLEAN WATER AND THE ENVIRONMENT

As your County Commissioner, I will combat current and future projects that pose an environmental danger to our community. Romulus has the deep water wells, Van Buren hosts one of only seven facilities in the country that handles extremely toxic materials, and Wayne County's air pollution impacts our poorest communities. Michigan is a beautiful state that accepts trash from other states/countries, sells our water, and needs do more to provide safe clean water to residents. It's time to lead on clean water innovation and bring green jobs to Wayne County. We Can Do Better!

PROGRAMS FOR JOBS, VETERANS, AND SENIORS

I applaud that Wayne County begun to do more for veterans, but we can always do more. As your County Commissioner, I would like to create a new jobs program and find new ways to help those in need. Supporting the VFW through hosting more events there and helping to promote their work is also a priority for me. We should ensure that taxes don't increase and that we have enough affordable low maintenance housing for seniors. Best way to prevent future additional taxes is to create new revenue. We Can Do Better!
