The Mission for Ward 6
1. Representation & Advocacy
Ward 6 is one of Gulfport’s most diverse and dynamic areas, yet its needs are often overlooked in city decision-making. As your City Council representative, I will be a steadfast advocate, ensuring that every resident’s voice is heard and valued. True leadership means listening, engaging, and fighting for the resources and policies that reflect the priorities of our community.
2. Economic Growth & Development
A thriving Ward 6 starts with a strong local economy. I am committed to supporting small businesses, attracting new investments, and creating attainable opportunities for entrepreneurs. By fostering sustainable economic development, we can bring more jobs, increase affordable housing options, and ensure that growth benefits all residents, not just a select few.
3. Public Safety & Infrastructure
Every resident deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood. I will work closely with law enforcement, community leaders, and organizations to implement effective, community-driven safety measures. Additionally, I will prioritize infrastructure improvements, from road maintenance and flood mitigation to ensuring that public transportation is reliable, accessible, and affordable for all.
4. Community Engagement & Quality of Life
Building a stronger community starts with open communication and shared goals. I will hold regular town halls to keep residents informed and engaged in the decision-making process. I will also champion initiatives that improve our quality of life—such as sustainable parks, accessible recreational programs, and affordable community resources that unite and uplift our neighborhoods.
5. Youth Empowerment & Education
The future of Ward 6 depends on the success of our young people. I am dedicated to expanding mentorship programs, investing in educational opportunities, and creating safe, enriching spaces for youth and young adults to learn, grow, and thrive. By prioritizing education and workforce development, we can ensure that the next generation has the tools they need to succeed.Together, we can create a Ward 6 that is attainable, affordable, and sustainable—a place where families can flourish, businesses can prosper, and every resident has a stake in shaping a brighter future.
