SUSTAINABILITY

 Our community deserves to have clean, safe places where we live, work, and play. Clean water, clean air and clean soil create a healthy ecosystem for us to live in. It seems simple, but often ignored or deprioritized to our detriment.

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.

District 9 contains and borders portions of two of Louisville's most beloved Olmsted Parks. Cherokee and Seneca are beautiful gems that make Louisville the City of Parks, and we must remain focused on preserving and improving them. I will be a Councilperson who actively represents the people who live with these parks as their backyards. I am committed to protecting and improving access to our park system, and listening to every idea to do so.

In addition to our largest natural resources, our District is also home to smaller parks, playgrounds, green spaces, old-growth trees and more cherished spaces, like Clifton, Breslin, Found and Bingham. I pledge to work to protect these places and lend my support to creating more of them throughout Louisville.

We are the stewards of this land and we owe it to our children to make sure it is preserved for future generations.
