Issues & Solutions

A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR DETROITERS

Detroiters deserve access to careers that pay well and provide long-term security. I will:

  • Partner with businesses, labor unions, and nonprofits to connect residents with job opportunities.
  • Invest in vocational training and apprenticeships for emerging industries like tech, EV manufacturing, and clean energy.
  • Ensure corporations hiring in Detroit commit to hiring Detroiters first.

Detroit will be a global leader in art, technology, and smart city solutions, creating new economic opportunities and setting the standard for the future of urban innovation.
My Plan for International Innovation:

  • Host the world’s largest Art & Tech Festival – Bigger than Art Basel and SXSW, this event will showcase Detroit’s talent, attract global investors, and make the city a hub for creativity, business, and culture.
  • Launch the first-of-its-kind City Dashboard – A cutting-edge digital platform for residents and businesses to navigate city services, resources, and opportunities for success.
  • Develop Innovation Districts – Transform underutilized spaces into centers for research, startups, and creative industries, driving economic growth and making Detroit a leader in emerging markets.
  •  

Detroit won’t just compete with the world—we will lead it.

Revitalizing Detroit’s neighborhoods requires a commitment to both economic opportunity and housing security. I will:

  • Restore and repurpose vacant properties to create vibrant community spaces.
  • Invest in small businesses and local entrepreneurs to drive neighborhood growth.
  • Expand affordable housing by incentivizing responsible development and reducing barriers for homeownership.
  • Strengthen protections for renters and increase resources for homebuyers.
  • Support policies that close wealth gaps and uplift underserved communities.

Decide the Future of Detroit...
Your vote helps determine leadership that will focus on jobs, housing, and revitalization.

Detroit’s future depends on a modern, reliable infrastructure. As mayor, I will:

  • Invest in sustainable, eco-friendly solutions for water, energy, and transportation.
  • Upgrade city services and utilities to ensure efficiency and long-term cost savings.
  • Upgrade stormwater and drainage systems to prevent flooding, protect homes and businesses, and improve water managment. 

My approach embeds safety into housing, jobs, infrastructure, and technology to create a holistic plan for a safer Detroit. Our Plan for Public Safety includes:

Community-Based Policing & Violence Prevention

  • Strengthen partnerships between law enforcement and residents to build trust.
  • Expand violence intervention programs that target root causes of crime.
  • Ensure mental health professionals and crisis responders support law enforcement.

Smart Policing & Technology-Driven Safety

  • Utilize AI and data-driven approaches to deploy resources where they’re needed most.
  • Install smart streetlights, traffic monitoring, and real-time safety alerts to protect residents.
  • Modernize 911 and emergency response systems for faster, more efficient service.

Safe Neighborhoods Through Economic Investment

  • Reduce crime by creating more jobs and opportunities in high-need areas.
  • Expand youth programs and after-school initiatives to keep kids engaged and off the streets.
  • Restore abandoned properties and enhance community spaces for a safer environment.
