For the past year

I've been hard at work alongside community leaders to make meaningful changes in our neighborhoods. We've repaired over 200 street lights, opened over 15 new businesses, made repairs to all 11 parks. and started one new Neighborhood Association (in Parkhill and Algonquin!).

In addition, I've been a driving force behind efforts to upgrade our public infrastructure, ensuring our neighborhoods are safer and more accessible to everyone. By actively involving the community, we've revitalized parks and recreational spaces, giving families clean, inviting areas to gather and enjoy. Plus, our focus on road maintenance and smarter traffic management hasn't just made residents' daily commutes smoother—it's also attracted new businesses, fueling economic growth and vitality throughout the Sixth District.

We've accomplished a lot in one year... but, as Kobe said, "The party's just getting started. This is where the fun starts!"

Clean, Safe, Vibrant

When you ask a political candidate "What are you gonna do?," most respond with the same-old clichés: public safety, lower taxes, plant more trees, bring new businesses, yada yada yada. Never any specifics on HOW they will do that.

After last November's election, I sat down with my team to plan out what we would do next. There were plenty of great ideas: new parks, infrastructure and traffic changes, community events... but there was no connection— no foundation. After talking with many neighbors, three constants emerged: We all want clean, safe and vibrant neighborhoods. Three simple words, but they mean so much to all of us.

  • Mahatma Gandhi asked his neighbors to pledge "I shall not litter and won't allow anyone to do so." Louisville is a beautiful place and I pledge to do my best to keep it that way. We currently have the following projects in progress:

    • Working together with Brightside and all of our Neighborhood Associations to host group cleanups throughout the District

    • Investigating the MSD-related Odors throughout the District

    • Creating an Alley Cleaning plan

    • Auditing the location and needs of our Street Trash Cans

    • Working with the owners of the upcoming Limerick Concrete Plan to reduce dust and debris

    • Implementing beautification improvements on Algonquin Parkway

    • Continuing to cleanup brownfield sites in Parkhill, Algonquin and Taylor-Berry

    • Citing and Fining apartment complexes that allow littering

    • Implementing the lessons learned from the Old Louisville Street Cleaning pilot

  • Louisville is at a crossroads— how do we make our urban neighborhoods safer, when Frankfort legislators have taken so many of our protections away? I believe it is the first mission of government to protect its people. We currently have the following projects in progress:

    • A Gun Buy-Back program

    • Enhancing Youth After-School activities

    • Funding all outstanding Speed Hump requests

    • Funding all outstanding Sidewalk repair requests

    • Sponsoring an ordinance requiring all pets to be microchipped

    • Working with Amazon to locate "Lockers" through the District (to reduce package theft)

    • Sponsoring an ordinance to reduce Heavy Truck traffic throughout Old Louisville and Limerick

    • Renovation of Kentucky Street

    • Working to stop Nuisance Businesses

    • Creating a detailed Street Lighting study

    • Hosting Prescription Drug Take-Back events

    • Expanding Neighborhood/Block Watch

    • Testing Solar Street Lighting

    • Converting all streets to Two-Way

    • Working with Louisville Distilleries to solve the "Whisky Fungus" problem

    • Solving Parking issues in Paristown Pointe

    • Modifying traffic to reduce speeding throughout the District

    • Connecting the area around Preston Street and the Railroad Tracks

  • Growth is inevitable, but destruction of our neighborhood character is not. The question is not whether our part of the world is going to change— The question is how. I believe that when we come together, we are at our strongest. We currently have the following projects in progress:

    • Algonquin, Oak Street, Barret Avenue, Logan Street and Taylor-Berry economic development. We're working with Mayor Greenberg to focus attention on the business corridors in the Sixth District.

    • Partnering with an established community developer to start a true Grocery in Parkhill/Algonquin

    • Hosting public meetings to begin planning for updates in All Sixth District Parks

    • Working with our Neighborhood Associations to expand membership

    • Coordinating a brand-new program to enhance and engage the lives of our Senior citizens

    • Working to enhance the Arthur Kling Senior Center

    • Sponsoring live music for the Old Louisville Farmer's Market

    • Hosting a Summer Concert Series throughout our Parks

    • Sponsoring Kentucky Shakespeare to continue in Central Park and expand to other parks in the District

    • Funding Neighborhood Banners for all our neighborhoods

    • Revitalizing Algonquin Day

    • Helping to sponsor Parkhill Day

    • Supporting the reopening of the Shelby Park Library

It’s a lot

These are real projects that we are working on. Some will take more time than others, and some things will change along the way— but this is my plan. And I'm always open to your ideas for more!
