Why did you decide to run for office: Because I was born, raised, and still live on the Westside of Jacksonville and I see it as an opportunity to give back to my community.
What is the biggest problem facing Jacksonville as a city overall, and how specifically would seek to address that: Public Safety. By adding more uniformed police officers on the streets, more/better after school programs, and more/better post incarceration programs.
What makes your constituents unique, and how would that influence your time in office: The residents of the Westside of Jacksonville have simple, basic needs. They want to be safe, both themselves and their property, they want better schools, more economic growth- i.e. Cecil Field, businesses, restaurants, and lower taxes.
What would be your main budget priority for the upcoming fiscal year: Public safety.
How do you define what you hope Jacksonville will be ten years from now: Safe with low property taxes, more economic growth, and A-rated schools.
