The plan to rebuild shreveport

---

Decades of failed leadership has made one thing clear: we must fundamentally change the way Shreveport does business. It is finally time to take Shreveport in a new direction, one that will empower every member of every community to build a better life.

Our strong-mayor form of government has failed us under multiple administrations and the current system suffers from a lack of oversight, transparency and accountability.

Under the Council-Manager structure, the City Manager position provides stability and continuity for the successful operation of the city, including the daily operation of all departments and personnel. This successful concept will return power to the people and their council members by removing politics & favoritism from the equation and focusing only on results.

The CM structure shields our city from the instability and divisiveness of politics, allowing for our success and outcomes to be performance-based and results-oriented.

Nearby cities of similar size which have taken this approach have seen an average population growth of 23% compared to our -4.5% and an average poverty rate of 19% compared to our 26% over the past thirty years.

As your next mayor, I will advocate for this innovative change and lead a nationwide search for the most qualified applicant to serve the citizens of Shreveport.

Leaning on more than 30 years of law enforcement experience, I am committed to the safety of all Shreveporters and reducing the scourge of violent crime in our city by evaluating:

• Introducing innovative technology
• Rebuilding SPD's auxiliary force
• Improving officer pay disparity
• Youth mentorship programs
• Body cams for all officers
• Real-time crime center
