Addressing Athens most pressing issues head-on
Athens' poverty rate hovers at 34% while Athens' economy continues to grow. The next Commission must EFFECTIVELY address this issue head-on.
Learn MoreOur community is haunted by an unaddressed history of racial discrimination and terrorism that continues through systemic inequalities that must be rooted out.
Learn MoreStrong communities that take care of their own have strong networks of subsidized infrastructure like libraries, daycare centers, and retirement homes.
Learn MoreAs we all know the rent is Too Damn High! But the pay is also too low. We need rent and housing prices that reflect the wages people bring home.
Learn MoreWe need free and fair bus service so that everyone can travel Athens. We also need better bus routes for economic corridors and on-demand buses for seniors and those with special needs.
Learn MoreOur city uses the free and stolen labor of mostly Black men in the state prison in our city. Furthermore our local jail is overrepresented with Black men.
Learn MorePoverty is high and unemployment is low! Those in poverty in Athens have too many jobs and many of them do not need the “skill development” earlier Commissions have focused on. What workers need in Athens is higher wages and the collective power of unions.
Learn MoreLast year's governor race was a sham and should have been contested. I am calling for an audit of our local Board of Elections to end racially discriminatory practices.
Learn MoreBuild on last elections progressive win by voting for someone with the conviction to push through progressive policies
The heart of my campaign is to bring forward and ultimately address and end racial, social, and economic inequities in the Athens community
Anyone who knows me knows I am a truth-teller. I am not afraid to say what I think or believe and I am ready to fight for the needs of this community by telling the truth that past commissions have ignored.
The Commission works under secrecy. I will not only be open and honest about my positions and decisions I will call for audits of the jail, board of elections, and school board so they can be transparent as well.
