Solutions for the Community

Solutions for the Community

I am working hard everyday to help make our district and state an even better place for all. While I cannot fix every issue in the community, I can collaborate with you and commit to giving you my all. I will find common ground where it exists and fight for what is right.

As a member of the Alabama State Legislature, I have three primary roles:

1) Propose and vote on bills that can become laws that affect the entire state. These bills create policies for education, criminal justice, public safety, health care, mental health services, economic development and more. In some circumstances, the legislature votes on “local bills” that only impact some cities/counties.

2) Provide constituent services to try and help guide residents towards resources or solutions.

3) Collaborate on and facilitate initiatives with non-profit organizations, clergy, businesses, and more to address issues in the district and support the community.

Education

As a former educator in Montgomery Public Schools, I know firsthand the challenges our schools face. Our students and educators deserve a state representative who will fight for equitable resources, seek innovative solutions, and support our public schools.

Enhancing Community Safety

All residents deserve to live in safe neighborhoods, free of gun violence. While government cannot stop every violent incident, there are reasonable steps that we can take to save lives and make our communities safer for all. I will continue working with law enforcement, grassroots groups, neighborhood associations and partners across government to advocate for such policies. Additionally, we must implement more rehabilitation, diversion and reentry programs that help prevent recidivism and improve public safety.

Community Health

Every resident in our state deserves access to quality, affordable health care and mental health services. I will continue to work with partners to ensure and expand access to such services for all.

Economic Mobility

We must support policies that level the playing field and expand access to financial opportunities that truly empower people—especially those traditionally left behind—to grow economically.

Community Health

Now more than ever, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the need for access to quality, affordable health care for all. Our community deserves a state representative who will advocate for mental health resources and equitable health services.

 

Criminal Justice Reform and Public Safety

As an attorney and policy expert, I have worked to seek justice for our state’s most vulnerable while writing and advocating for changes that make the law fairer and more equal for all residents. As your state representative, I will bring this depth of knowledge and experience to write laws that will make our communities better and safer for all.

 

Economic Mobility

I have seen firsthand through my work as an educator, attorney, and policy  expert the economic challenges many families and small businesses face. As your state representative, I will work to introduce and support policies to level the playing field and expand access to financial opportunities that truly empower people—especially those traditionally left behind—to grow economically.
