Dear ,
On Friday, December 10th, I will officially file as a candidate for a third term on the Charlotte City Council as an At-Large Representative. I am proud of my record but there is still much to be done. Together, I look forward to creating the city we know is possible.
As a mother, I am dedicated to ensuring that all children in Charlotte are given equal opportunity to succeed. As your Councilwoman, I am committed to fighting for the safety, security and economic opportunities for every resident, regardless of zip code.
Since joining the Council in January 2017 I have successfully championed:
- Affordable healthcare for thousands of city employees,
- Adoption of the Strategic Energy Action Plan – Charlotte’s first-ever framework to transition to a low carbon future, and
- Economic opportunities to the 69-acre Eastland site, an area left undeveloped for years.
As part of Charlotte City Council, I have also supported:
- Increased affordable housing bonds from $15 million to $50 million,
- Charlotte's first Comprehensive Vision Plan in 45 years,
- Jumpstart Micro-grant – a community safety program to support grassroots organizers to make Charlotte safer, and
- Passage of the long overdue nondiscrimination ordinance.
It’s not what we say, but what we do that matters. I look forward to the campaign and work ahead. With your support, we will continue to make progress for Charlotte. I humbly ask for your vote.
