Safe Streets Create Stronger Neighborhoods

Every neighborhood deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard; beginning with building trust and accountability in public safety. We can create strong, connected neighborhoods where families feel secure and neighbors thrive together, by prioritizing road safety and community improvements.

Responsible Planning and Infrastructure

Managing growth wisely means balancing new development with the character of our neighborhoods while investing in well-maintained roads, safe sidewalks, and reliable utilities that support families, create jobs, and drive economic success. As Gastonia grows, I’m committed to strategic development, supported by responsible zoning, to protect our quality of life and ensure our infrastructure keeps pace with the future needs of our community.

Support Local Businesses and Maintain a Stable Workforce

Our economy thrives when commercial and industrial hubs are created and supported—helping balance the tax responsibility and relieving the fiscal pressure on residents. Attracting businesses that offer job stability to families and invest in skilled workforce training, drives economic vitality and fosters regional cooperation with neighboring communities.

Fiscal Sanity and Accountability

Every taxpayer deserves transparent spending, responsible budgeting, and a city that has smart priorities. I will work to demand accountability in city budgets and contracts, and ensure resources are focused where they matter most to our residents.

Community Investment and Citizen Engagement

Every child deserves an opportunity to succeed and a safe place to grow, and every resident deserves to feel connected, represented, and valued in their community. I’ll champion investments in parks, neighborhoods, youth mentorships, community programs that build pride, and healthy spaces across our city that bring families together and provide our kids with safe and positive outlets.
