ADDRESSING VIOLENCE AND CRIME

​

Building Public Safety:

Holistic, Proven Strategy to Fight Violence

The violence our city continues to experience is what motivated me to become a public servant as a young man from Park Heights.

We cannot arrest or prosecute our way out of this problem. We must stay grounded in the immediate steps we can take today — getting repeat violent offenders off the streets, implementing a group violence reduction strategy, and stopping the flow of illegal guns — while also addressing the root causes of crime.

Transparency and Accountability: Restoring Trust in City Government

In recent years, two Mayors have resigned following revelations of criminal conduct while in office. Public officials should meet the highest ethical standards and set an example for honesty and integrity.

​

Part of our city’s comeback story must be rebuilding the public trust. As Mayor, I will introduce concrete and measurable initiatives aimed at restoring faith between the city and its leaders. This is the most effective way to run a city.

Supporting Baltimore During and After

COVID-19

​

As Council President, I have led the way on communicating critical public health information about the coronavirus and introducing legislation related to the state of emergency.

​

 I created a Baltimore COVID-19 Asset Map so residents can locate food sites, grocery store hours, and health care clinics near them. It was recognized by the Harvard Kennedy School as a best practice in local government response to the global public health pandemic.

Cultivating an

Inclusive, Equitable Economy

​

I am committed to equitable economic and community development. For too long, leadership has allowed the few to prosper while the many see none of the gains. Changing this status quo will take someone who knows how to wield the reins of city government.

​

My primary guiding principle for economic and community development is equity. It is why I passed the Equity Assessment Ordinance, and intend to fully fund the Equity Assistance Program.
