We must invest in Detroit – and not just one-shot infusions of aid from our representatives in Lansing. Our young people deserve access to skills training so they can secure good paying jobs. Entrepreneurs must have access to capital to grow businesses that serve their communities. Affordable housing should not be a dream but attainable for every family.
Does the future hold hope for Detroit’s neighborhoods as well as downtown?
Public transportation must be reliable, efficient, and accessible to connect all corners of our city. And let’s not forget our right to clean air and water. These are not platitudes. They are the areas of our society that require real work.
This is a moment of decision for Detroit. Will we continue to accept the status quo, or will we demand a future where all Detroiters thrive? When our neighborhoods mirror the progress that drives our downtown, we will know then that progress has truly arrived and is upon us.
I am running for Mayor of Detroit because I believe in the power of this city and its people. I bring a wealth of legal knowledge, sound business experience, fiscal discipline, strong leadership, incorruptible integrity and compassion for people. I have a real and reliable record of success.
