The Pillars Of Our Mission
We can't accomplish all of what we hope to achieve if we do not embrace and believe in the change that it will require to make our city a much better place. Here is a look at some of the key areas that our campaign is focusing on:
Community
We are focused on the growth of businesses and industries and how they play a part within our city’s revitalization process. As we seek out improvements to our infrastructure, we must create equitable solutions to address our city’s blighted properties. Through public and nonprofit partnerships, we will invest in and uplift parks and recreation, as they provide safe spaces for our children to learn and grow within a structured environment.
Education
We will work with students, parents, teachers, and school board members to seek out accreditation and ensure solid lines of communication are maintained between our ward’s local school board representative and our City Council. We must invest in educational programs, technology, and career tools which prepare our students for success in the workforce.
Water
Our billing and collections services are well overdue for an upgrade, and civilian oversight is needed to ensure that this process is transparent and consistent with the needs of our citizens. We will work with private and nonprofit environmental organizations to provide quality and accessible water to all Petersburg residents.
Support
Our campaign will focus on community support in the form of health advocacy, the improvement of financial outcomes for our city’s residents, and the use of social support initiatives to address our community’s struggles.
