ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To secure the liberties and freedoms of its citizens.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I have a servants heart and everything that I do on the campaign trail is aimed at improving the lives of the people I seek to represent. Nothing I do is for self gain or promotion. I am committed to making my community a better place to live and work for every single person.
I voted in these primaries and general elections:

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Redirecting funds is just another way of saying defund the police. A community can only be as great as its local law enforcement. They need our support and we need theirs. Councilor Lori Dector-Wright attempted to redirect $5,000,000 from the TPD and send it to another department in September of 2022.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The exact opposite. Education on the proper handling of a firearm and the laws related to legal ownership of a firearm should be encouraged.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Neutral
I prefer to keep our current system in place. Medical marijuana in Oklahoma is what I support as a substitute for opioids in the treatment for pain management.
All official open meetings should be live streamed, recorded, and have transcripts available online for public access.
Strongly Agree
Any emergency executive order (EO) should be subject to review and override by the city council in a special meeting called no later than 14 days following issue of the EO.
Agree
And should require a super majority to overturn.
LOCAL
Please list up to six issues or projects that you think need the most attention, in priority order.
1. Permanently kill any plan to create an Office of Independent Monitor in Tulsa. 2. Create a committee at City Hall that trains and advices community organizations in Tulsa on the methods and practices used by the Ten Point Coalition out of Indianapolis to address specific crime in targeted areas. 3. Approve Mayor Bynum's ordinance to include jail time for serial panhandlers. 4. Work with state legislators to repeal the state sales tax on groceries across the state and in Tulsa. 5. Develop a 5 year plan to seriously address to lacking infrastructure in District 7. 6. Work to create a county wide permitting and licensing process that is universal and handled at the Tulsa County level instead of every municipality in the Tulsa metro area having individual requirements for every trade and type of inspection. Our current system makes it difficult for contractors and businesses to operate across the entire metro. We need a universal system with better access to permitting and inspections.
I support annual financial audits of every city department by an independent, third party auditor.
Agree
The city of Tulsa does elect a city auditor that is required to perform audits periodically. That being said, I have allows been an advocate for transparency, and I would like to see some sort of charter amendment that requires audits by a third party to be conducted no more than every three years.
