My plan is to help build a thriving local economy and create opportunities for District 84 residents.

Action Items:

• Expand access to job training and apprenticeship programs, especially in high-demand industries like logistics, healthcare, and technology.
• Advocate for state investment in small business grants and minority-owned business support programs, specifically in the Hickory Ridge area. 
• Push for increased investment in the Memphis airport and transportation infrastructure to boost trade and job creation.

My campaign will be focused on the goal to ensure every child has access to quality education and resources.

Action Items:

• Fight for increased teacher pay and classroom funding to address the statewide teacher shortage.
• Expand pre-K access and strengthen after-school programs to support working families.
• Promote STEM education and partnerships with local colleges to prepare students for future careers.
• Promote vocational training to increase workforce infrastructure and  ensure students have access and knowledge of high paying jobs.

Create safer neighborhoods while addressing systemic challenges in the justice system.

Action Items:

• Increase funding for community policing initiatives and violence prevention programs.
• Advocate for justice reforms, including alternatives to incarceration for nonviolent offenses and increased support for reentry programs.
• Enhance resources for community policing, with a focus on protecting vulnerable communities and at risk youth. 

Healthcare is under attack on all sides. I will fight to improve and restore healthcare availability and affordability for Memphis residents.

Action Items:

• Expand Medicaid in Tennessee to cover more low-income families and individuals.
• Address healthcare deserts by incentivizing clinics and providers to serve underserved neighborhoods.
• Focus on maternal and mental health care, particularly for communities of color.
