Knoxville is the best city ever. However, we are at a crossroads of change, and these changes are our opportunity to take our city to the next level. We have new leaders creating new visions. We have new businesses flourishing while others are changing or leaving, which means we must stay determined to create innovation and opportunities for Knoxville and all of us who call this great city home. We need to develop a long-term, big-picture action plan with people who can turn words into action and vision into reality. It’s one thing to talk about ideas and plans - it’s another to put in the work to make them happen. That’s why I’m running for Knoxville City Council – to get to work and ensure Knoxville’s brightest days are in front of us - not behind us.
