Campaign Principles
Putting Our Community First
Building Prosperity Through Fair Wages
In 2025, hard work should lead to financial security, not struggle. Every worker deserves a livable wage that covers basic needs and fosters economic growth. A strong economy is built on fair pay, job stability, and opportunities for advancement—not just the number of jobs available. Investing in our workforce means supporting businesses that prioritize local hiring, training, and career development. By ensuring fair wages and economic opportunities, we empower families, strengthen communities, and create a thriving North Charleston for everyone.
Protecting Our Neighborhoods: Combating Gentrification & Ensuring Affordable Housing
We must stand up to gentrification by expanding access to truly affordable housing and dedicating resources to protect the homeownership of current residents. Displacement is a major threat to our communities, but through a constructive partnership among community, local, and state leaders, we can foster economic development while preserving our neighborhoods.
Education is the Key
For too long, North Charleston students have been overlooked. It’s time to establish a school district focused on improving education and expanding opportunities for our children. By closing the achievement gap, we prepare our youth for high-paying careers in a technology-driven future.
Safe, Vibrant Communities
We envision neighborhoods where every street is safe to walk and every community member feels secure. Our commitment is to create inviting public spaces and a safer urban environment where all residents can thrive.
Empowering Youth Through Community Programs
Youth programs are essential in developing social skills, self-awareness, and resilience. Especially for at-risk youth, these initiatives provide a constructive path toward success. By fostering responsible, confident citizens, we strengthen not only our youth but our entire community.
Economic Opportunity: Empowering Small Businesses & Entrepreneurs
We believe in fostering an environment where small businesses and startups can thrive. By providing easier access to capital, mentorship, and community support, we empower local entrepreneurs and boost our economic landscape.
Accessible Healthcare for All
Quality healthcare is a right, not a privilege. We are dedicated to expanding access to affordable, high-quality healthcare for every resident, ensuring that no one is left behind due to cost or location.
Environmental Sustainability & Clean Energy
Our future depends on a healthy environment. By promoting clean energy initiatives, sustainable practices, and responsible resource management, we can protect our natural surroundings while creating green jobs and reducing our carbon footprint.
Community Policing & Public Safety
We support a model of community policing that builds trust and collaboration between law enforcement and residents. By fostering dialogue and implementing reformative practices, we aim to enhance public safety and promote a more inclusive approach to security.
Transparent Governance & Accountability
Open government is the foundation of a thriving democracy. We commit to full transparency, active community engagement, accountability in every decision and ensuring our policies serve the people and foster trust in our institutions.
Community Input in Zoning Decisions
- Host community forums to gather input on zoning changes and development projects.
