How we Build Healthy Communities in every District 10 Neighborhood

My policy vision, Building Healthy Communities, is about understanding how good outcomes for people, communities, and our city are based on the connections between people. As Councilwoman, I’ll focus on improving the connections between communities and the resources, services, and programs that city government and its partners deliver to make a difference.  

  • SAFE AND HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS

    Whether I’m in Curtis Bay, Morrell Park, Cherry Hill, or Violetville, safety is something that is always top of mind in District 10. Especially when it comes to our children and our seniors, it’s important that public safety is a top priority for all public servants.

  • EFFICIENT AND RESPONSIVE CITY SERVICES

    Next, our city services should be efficient and responsive, and as your Councilwoman, I’ll make sure to work with agencies to make this happen. When the streets aren’t getting paved, or the trash isn’t properly being picked up, or water leaks aren’t being repaired, the effect on quality of life is immediate. It’s important that agencies respond to community requests and take care of these issues quickly.

  • SCHOOLS

    Good schools are the cornerstone of healthy communities, especially community schools that are truly the heart of the community.

    Baltimore City also has a number of community schools where programming is offered throughout the day and on the weekends so that the school becomes a true anchor of each community. By fostering partnerships, and connecting community members to a wide range of resources, the community schools model reflects exactly the kind of approach that builds healthy communities.

  • JOBS & ECONOMIC GROWTH

    Small businesses and living wage jobs make our neighborhoods strong. I will partner with small businesses and anchors like St. Agnes Hospital, Medstar Hospital, and Port Covington to increase investment in the community.

  • ACCOUNTABILITY & TRANSPARENCY

    Government must be accountable to the people, with decisions made in a fully transparent way, so that residents know how public funds are being spent, who is benefiting, and who is being left out. I will advocate for more audits, and more funding for Baltimore’s Office of the Inspector General, and I’ll work with my colleagues on the Council to ensure that the Council is holding oversight hearings and asking the right questions.
