Priorities For The City of Pewee Valley

This work is deeply personal for me. As a mom to Alexandra and Lincoln, every day I feel the urgency of families fighting the system to hear us and to build communities that are healthy, safe, and resilient.

Now’s the time for us to lead together. If elected as a Pewee Valley City council member I will work in coalition with the Police, Mayor, and other city council members to deliver bold, systemic change and redefine what is possible through city leadership across our neighborhood and community. 

Advancing a Community of Belonging

  • Identify and prioritize programming needs in the community and develop approaches to meet those needs, emphasizing youth, families, seniors, and residents who tend to face barriers to opportunities. Creating a City that works for everyone. 
  • Keep our status as a Tree City USA  and maintain our commitment to being a welcoming and inclusive community where all residents experience a sense of belonging. 
  • Create spaces and places that inspire our residence everyday. Fostering a goal that creates an environmental legacy that we all can be proud of.

Fiscally Sustainable Government

  • Establish the City’s long-term fiscal sustainability strategy.
  • Explore expanding City revenue options to identify long-term solutions necessary to diversify the City’s revenue streams. (Churches, Schools, Non- profits) 
  • Explore ways to provide a more equitable property tax assessment system, including providing property tax adjustments to residents in need.  
  • Work with the community to find the best solution for our police presence in our community while keeping the safety of our residents and guests our top priority.
  • Continue to build on improvements in the budget process, presentation of budget information, and communication with residents.

Engaged, Responsive, Service-Oriented Government

  • Advance the City and Emergency communications with residents and adopt innovative, culturally appropriate initiatives to improve public engagement and collaboration with residents, particularly with residents who may face barriers to participating in municipal government activities and community affairs.
  • Improve policies and processes to enhance resident interaction with the City government and the Council, including requests for government services, complaint systems, and code enforcement.
  • Review and reform the City’s approach to public safety and work toward a safer, more livable community for all residents.

Community Development for an Improved & Equitable Quality of Life

  • Improve transportation planning, design, and implementation to create a safer, more environmentally sustainable, and more racially and economically equitable community for all residents, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicle occupants. 
  • Increase Sidewalks and improve road conditions for all our residents and their families who use our streets and neighborhoods for exercise. 
  • Plan and prepare for development in the City while maintaining the special character and economic diversity of Pewee Valley.
