Rising housing and living costs in Atlanta are displacing residents from their neighborhoods. We must prioritize housing affordability to ensure Atlanta remains inclusive and livable for all. I will fight to:

​

• Expand affordable housing options, including more single-family homes.

• Increase funding in affordable housing program

• Develop vacant and blight public land for affordable housing.

• Preserve existing affordable housing units.

• Implement anti-displacement policies like rent stabilization and property tax relief for longtime residents.

• Increase funding for low-income housing tax credits.

• Create public-private partnerships to build mixed-income developments.

​

Ensuring healthy and safe neighborhoods across Atlanta requires a balanced approach. I will fight to: 

​

• Strengthen community safety and alternative efforts to enhance safety across Atlanta.

• Invest in mental health and social services to address underlying issues.

• Increase funding for programs targeting root causes of crime, such as poverty, education gaps, and limited job opportunities.

• Advocate for greater investments in food insecurity, health inequities, and access in underserved neighborhoods.

• Ensure the city budget reflects values by prioritizing funding for these critical initiatives to support all Atlantans.

​

We must enhance our transit and infrastructure systems to ensure that EVERYONE has accessibility. I will fight to: 

​

• Prioritize investments in equitable and sustainable public transportation, including expanding MARTA routes and improving bus frequency and reliability.

• Ensure access to the Beltline and other transit options for all residents.

• Modernize infrastructure with smart technology and create bike and pedestrian-friendly pathways.

• Partner with local, state, and federal agencies to secure funding for transit improvements.

• Implement transit-oriented development plans to reduce traffic congestion, drive economic growth, and connect communities across Atlanta.

​

A strong economy is key to Atlanta's success, and we must ensure that every Atlantan has an opportunity in it. I will fight to: 

​

• Foster an inclusive ecosystem to support small businesses, prioritizing those owned by women, minorities, and underserved communities.

• Expand access to capital and offer targeted grants and incentives for small businesses.

• Streamline business licensing and permitting processes.

• Invest in workforce development programs, including skills training and apprenticeships for high-demand industries.

• Advocate for partnerships and local hiring policies to drive economic growth.

• Ensure the benefits of economic development are shared equitably across Atlanta’s diverse neighborhoods.

​

We must position Atlanta as a leader in combating climate change and fostering a healthier, greener future for all residents. I will fight to: 

​

• Prioritize policies that support clean energy, energy-efficient buildings, and green infrastructure.

• Expand tree canopy preservation initiatives to combat urban heat and improve air quality.

• Increase investments in renewable energy projects and promote community solar programs.

• Create incentives for businesses and residents to adopt sustainable practices.

• Invest in climate-resilient infrastructure to protect against extreme weather impacts.
