Building Community: Building community isn't just about participating in outreach programs and connecting with your neighbors, it's about creating a synergy between the public and private sectors and instilling civic pride.

Reviving Jobs: Our City boasts an active port, thriving military community, commerce and manufacturing centers - including the emergence of Cecil Commerce Center - opportunities for eco-tourism, as well as skilled employee markets from our local colleges and universities.

Restoring Trust: At this time in our City's history, actions will speak louder than words. I am passionate about the positive effect our representatives can have on our community; we need to explore new and innovative ways to bring people into the process rather than alienating them.

Safe Neighborhoods: Neighbors make great neighborhoods, and Jacksonville is brimming with a renewed sense of community. A combination of efforts by the Sheriff and JSO, community organizations, and neighbots has had tremendous impact on the safety of our citizens.
