AFFORDABILITY + COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Affordability and quality of life are top of mind for me. My approach to affordability and community well-being is focused on responsible and equitable development. Putting money back into the Affordable Housing Trust, Public Works, Parks, Public Art, and Sustainability. The city's budget should spent on making Louisville a more livable place for everyone to thrive. It's not radical, it's practical.

District 9 is a thriving area with a variety of small to medium size businesses and a diverse mix of neighborhoods and housing options. We must improve and expand housing and our city services. I will advocate for sustainable housing growth that respects the unique character of District 9. I am committed to ensuring all development is accessible and meets the needs the District.

We need to look at the gaps residents and business owners are facing in terms of access to services, like public transportation, the ability to find affordable housing and easing the backlog permitting process. When we talk about growth, we need to think about the needs of the community and the ability to improve people's lives first.

There are many areas of opportunity to improve our community's existing infrastructure. Many places are in need of major repair and development to better serve residents across District 9. Housing is a vital need throughout Louisville, and our District has the opportunity to meet this need in a responsible manner.

To improve the quality of life we must invest in our infrastructure and transit, including TARC. I want to make our neighborhoods more accessible and connected for everyone who lives and works here, which will enhance public safety. As Vice Chair of the Kentucky Resources Council, I believe protecting our natural resources is essential to the long-term health, safety, and vitality of our entire community. Protecting and prioritizing the environment protects the health and safety of every resident of Louisville.
