Smart Growth and Sustainable Development:
Union Station, Visit Raleigh
We need to ensure Raleigh grows in a way that balances urban density with the preservation of our beautiful green spaces. This means focusing on smart growth strategies, such as transit-oriented development and mixed-use projects, to create vibrant, walkable neighborhoods.
Public Safety:
Raleigh Convention Center, Visit Raleigh
Ensuring our community is safe is not only a matter of protecting our residents but also fostering an environment where everyone feels secure and supported, which is essential for the city's continued growth and prosperity.
Community Engagement and Public Spaces:

Enhancing our public spaces, such as parks and greenways, is essential for fostering a sense of community and improving our quality of life. John will advocate for the preservation and expansion of these spaces, ensuring they are accessible and well-maintained. By doing so, John aims to create environments where residents can come together, share experiences, and participate actively in community life.
