VISION + PRIORITIES
I’m a businesswoman, I’m a mom, and I love Chattanooga. Our city has been a great place for me to raise my family, and I know it can – and must be – better in order to be a great city for everyone.
My public service is motivated by our need for change and the opportunity for progress. We have complex challenges ahead of us. That doesn’t scare me. I move toward hard things, and I welcome diverse voices into shared conversations to find solutions.
The people of District 2 are coalition builders. We are practical. We are hard working and hopeful. As your City Council representative, I elevate the voices of our neighborhoods while laboring to make Chattanooga better for everyone.
I believe Chattanooga needs a bold vision for the future.
VISION FOR CHATTANOOGA
Strong Foundation
Infrastructure investment is a community top priority. I work to maintain our roads, safely control stormwater and wastewater, and plan for the future with improved sidewalks and multimodal transportation. A well-maintained infrastructure is key to our economic growth – and District 2 deserves a recognizable return on our investment of tax dollars.
Smart City
It’s past time to improve the reliability of essential services including brush pickup, bulky trash services, and codes enforcement. Let’s get smart about our land use policy. We want to maintain the culture of our neighborhoods while encouraging housing variety and affordable options for first time homebuyers, downsizers, and renters.
Everyone Belongs
We are at our best when we work together and listen to each other. Valuing Chattanooga’s rich and growing diversity drives innovation and further cements our city as a community of choice. My commitment to good paying jobs, high quality of life, and care for our natural resources benefits everyone in our city.
PRIORITIES
Shared Vision
Our city needs a shared vision that reflects the values and beliefs of its residents and empowers them to build a better quality of life and a stronger economy. As your representative, I advocate for the interests of District 2 and ensure your taxes are spent in a fiscally responsible manner.
Strong Infrastructure
Infrastructure investment must be a top priority for our city and its residents. From paving roads to filling potholes and safe storm and wastewater management to sidewalks and multimodal transportation, our families deserve a recognizable return on their investment of tax dollars. District 2 and all of Chattanooga have significant infrastructure needs. Addressing them is key to our city’s sustainable growth.
Thriving Neighborhoods
Chattanooga will be at its best when every neighborhood in the city is home to a variety of housing, successful businesses, job opportunities, transportation, and well-maintained public spaces. From Northgate to North Shore, I elevate the voices of our neighborhoods and encourage private and public investment to ensure they can deliver stability and generational prosperity.
Safe Community
Every person in our community deserves to feel safe at home and as they move about Chattanooga. I facilitate trusting working relationships with our Police Department and District 2 residents to help keep our neighborhoods safe. We must ensure our first responders are fairly compensated for their work and commit to continuous improvement of services.
