Wilmington needs effective leadership working to move the city forward. I believe the following pillars of my platform will do just that.
A Stronger Downtown
Wilmington needs a strong downtown, one that promotes business and attracts residents. We have a beautiful, historic downtown with many landmarks. I believe:

• We need to find creative solutions to focus more money on aging infrastructure downtown, such as a Downtown Redevelopment District
• We must implement points in the Wilmington Comprehensive Plan, created in 2015 and adopted by City Council, that focus on creating a more walkable and safer downtown

A Safer Wilmington
Safety is as important to the national and local conversation as it ever has been. It is important for any person or business considering investing in Wilmington to know that this is a safe community. I believe:

• We must continue investing in our safety services
• Our safety services must engage residents in conversations about issues concerning them in the community
• We must increase pedestrian safety by investing in infrastructure that makes Wilmington more walkable

Moving Wilmington Towards A Brighter Future
Wilmington needs forward-thinking leaders who will work with residents, businesses, and other local governments to make sure the City is doing its part in creating a bright future. I believe:

• A collaborative effort between government and citizens must tackle Wilmington's antiquated and patchwork zoning code, focusing on creating a zoning code that works for residents, businesses, and anyone who wants to invest in their community.
• We need to focus on updating existing infrastructure, including our streets.
• City government should collaborate with neighborhood leaders to understand what they believe would help their community thrive.
