Let's Continue the Work - I'm Running for Reelection to be your District 21 Councilman!

My, how fast does 4-years fly? In the Fall of 2018, I decided to take my love for the city of Nashville to greater heights. I saw an opportunity to secure much needed infrastructure investments, decrease crime & increase transparency with our police department, fight illegal dumping with beautification projects and financial capital, and balance the diverse needs associated with smart & responsible growth and development. We’ve accomplished so much but there is more work to be done.

Since I have been in office, District 21 has accomplished so much. Just to name a few…

• I worked with the mayor’s office to add nearly $8 Million for weekly illegal dumping pickup. Illegal Dumping has been the #1 HUBNashville issue for the past 6 years. 

• There’s been a substantial decrease in every type of crime in North Nashville since I took office. I chaired the 37208 Committee born out of The Brookings Institution report "Work and Opportunity Before and After Incarceration". Our committee made several recommendations to respond to this report and we have accomplished a few of these recommendations. WKRN's article "North Nashville had highest incarceration rate in the nation in 2018; What’s changed since?" gives an in depth look at the changes that have happened over time.

• I lobbied for serval traffic calming projects in the district: 23rd Ave N, 15th Ave. North, 16th Ave. N, Clay St., 28th Ave N, 25th Ave. N, 26th Ave. N, Jenkins St., Clifton Ave., and Arthur Ave. Traffic Calming has consistently been an issue throughout the entire city, especially in District 21. There are several other areas that need traffic calming measures, and I, along with NDOT are working to address all of these areas in our communities.

• Passed legislation to maintain the community character of Cumberland Gardens with a Contextual Overlay. Smart growth and responsible development has been on of the most prioritized goals in my tenure as the District 21 Councilman. I have worked along side of the constituents to listen and understand how we are to shape and develop our communities. 

• Introduced and passed legislation to allow families to extend their homes and create supplemental income with a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit Overlay.

• I’ve consistently communicated and informed neighbors about upcoming meetings, important legislative matters, and pertinent information about their neighborhoods. I do this through my newsletters, such as this one, phone calls, text messages, door-to-door canvassing, and sometimes we even find the budget to send mailers to communicate with neighbors. Communication is important. With your engagement, I am able to advocate directly for the constituents in District 21.

• Secured $17 Million investment to construct a North Nashville Bus Transit Center. The largest government financial investment in the past decade. All three levels of government invested in this project, Local, State, and Federal officers came together to invest dollars right in the heart of District 21.
