Strengthened Community Investment: As a member of the City Council Subcommittee on Finance and Government Performance, I established the Community Support Agency Grant Program to ensure funding aligns with city goals and taxpayer dollars are used efficiently.

Improved Housing Oversight: Expanded the Rental Inspection Program to include the area between Mercury Blvd., J. Clyde Morris Blvd., the Hampton City Line, and Jefferson Ave., improving housing safety and accountability.
Addressed Neighborhood Blight: Sponsored a new Blight Reduction Ordinance targeting spot blight abatement, derelict structures, and clutter to revitalize neighborhoods and enhance community pride.
Modernized Code Enforcement: Championed an AI-powered inspection program to proactively identify code violations — transforming our system from reactive to preventive.
Promoted Food Security: Launched the inaugural City Council Thrive Takeover to raise awareness of food insecurity and strengthen community partnerships that combat hunger.
