Combat Crime
We deserve safe homes and businesses. I will bring new solutions and commitments to reduce crime in our neighborhoods:
- Expand police services in our neighborhoods
- Work with our new Police Chief, Anthony W. Batts to reform the police department
- Obtain resources through the city, state and federal level to tackle the roots of crime, like drug trafficking and rehabilitation
- Find resources to rehabilitate and supervise parolees
Innovative Solutions for better Schools
Our children need a quality education to succeed. This critical issue requires the courage from city officials to work with the district to reform schools. Better education is in the best interest of our children:
- Improve schools so families can remain in Oakland
- Expand cooperation between the public schools, City, and residents
- Support new superintendent, Dr. Tony Smith, a local educator who knows urban education
- Reduce the 4,000-plus daily Oakland truants
Reform City Hall
The City must deliver basic neighborhood services like, clean parks and repaired streets. We pay our taxes. We deserve a responsive City government. I will be our committed advocate for a well-run city that delivers services to our neighborhoods which will improve our quality of life.
