I was honored to join the East End community for the unveiling of a new mural by Meenr at The Original Ninfa’s on Navigation. As Vice Chair of Arts & Culture, I’m proud to support public art that brings people together and celebrates our shared culture.

Flashing stop signs now installed at Crockett & Silver in First Ward. Grateful to Director Macchi for joining my ride-along this week & helping move on this so quickly. I'm committed to safe, strong, and healthy neighborhoods and will keep delivering results for our communities.

Tonight I spoke at Super Neighborhood 51 on public safety and the new County partnership at Moody Park. Joined by HPD, Metro Police, Constable’s Office & a homeless coalition, focused on collaboration and better outcomes for the Northside.

April 1st, your water bill may go up, on avg 7.8%. This increase is happening because it cost more to run & maintain the system, keep pipes, treatment plants, infrastructure in good working condition. By making small, planned increases, the city can avoid bigger problems later.

I had a ride-along with Dir. of Public Works across District H. One of our first stops was Crockett & Silver in First Ward, where neighbors have raised real safety concerns. I'm committed to bringing forward solutions that make this intersection safer for everyone. Updates soon!
