Keeping our county safe is not just the responsibility of the Police or Sheriff’s departments, we all can play a part in our community. My administration will work with Public Safety to see what resources are needed to attract the necessary talent, ensure that they are properly trained and that our retention of officers’ increases. My administration’s goal is to seek out collaborative ways and means to support the initiatives of our law enforcement departments for the safety of our residents. Learn more

During one of my attendances at a county meeting in which the county wanted input from the public on how to best spend S.P.L.O.S.T. (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) money, I was told that our school’s administration was not providing input at the Planning and Development Stage for future developments. This was shocking because it meant the schools would not have had the opportunity to bid on the land if a new school was needed. One solution to this crisis is to build on existing schools. Since the county currently does not have a housing plan, it will be essential to develop one. Learn more
For individuals and businesses that have been discouraged about doing business with the county, my administration plans to create a fair open and transparent bidding process, with supporting workshops to provide the guidance needed to give every business owner a fair chance at bidding with the County.

Recently, longstanding Gwinnett residents have been facing the legal strongarm of eminent domain. This alludes to the lack of planning that is forcing the county to exercise its will to facilitate deals with developers. My friends, we cannot have a County Commission that participates in using eminent domain to take land from the residents whose interest they are elected to serve and protect. The history of these landowners is often painful enough, and the enforcement of eminent domain would only be adding another scar to an already painful history. My administration is prepared to have honest conversations with our constituents, through town hall meetings and Focus Group studies. As it is our sworn duty to treat our residents with the respect and dignity required of our office since we owe our jobs to them. And we serve them best when we listen to their concerns. Learn more
As Gwinnett’s next chairperson, I plan to take urgent steps to address and reduce homelessness; otherwise, the situation will only become more severe. Learn more
As your county chair, I will seek out collaborative partnerships with organizations such as the Community Action Partnership, which is already on the frontlines providing housing security for Gwinnett residents who have been struggling to move out of the instability of extended stays and into permanent housing.

Our quality of life suffers for every hour that we spend sitting in traffic because of the continued delay of implementing an effective transportation system. According to the Regional Impact Report released by ARC, in September 2022, at least 60% of Gwinnett’s working population traveled outside the county for work! Everyday more and more families are relocating to Gwinnett County… but what is the plan for transportation to facilitate the increased population? My plan for Gwinnett’s is to explore all collaborative efforts that will attract corporations to Gwinnett County, that will pay the caliber wages that will prevent Gwinnett’s residents from traveling outside the county for work. Wages that have the buying power to sustain the standard of living that is synonymous with living in Gwinnett. This way our residents can truly live, work and play in Gwinnett. Learn more
