Candidate for Mayor

One of the three pillars of my campaign, Empower Our People, aims to address the impact of the years of damage that has been done to our communities. I plan to do this through the following initiatives: providing resources for homeownership and reducing blight and vacancy; promoting holistic human development through invested focus on mental health, education, and training programs; making equitable investments in all neighborhoods including parks, public spaces and infrastructure; and promoting cultural affairs and activities to celebrate the rich, proud heritage of Wilmington’s diverse people.
