If you were not able to attend the candidate forum last night at Lincoln County Academy, you you can go to hyperlinc.co and watch the candidates answer questions that affect us all.

We would like to thank The Elk Valley Times and WYTM for having us participate in the Candidate Forum on last evening.

ENVIRONMENTAL

Our Sanitation and Waste Department I know are short staffed, but we need to look at easier ways to recycle. There are our older citizens that can not bring items to the recycling center and would love to help the environment by recycling. We need to look at providing recycling bins/carts for our citizens. Also, the worker needs to be more careful when emptying containers so that items do not fly from their truck onto the roads. Citizens should not be held responsible for those oversights.

PUBLIC SAFETY

As an Alderman I help our Police Dept. gain Certification, encourage and work to have more foot patrol in our community and especially in our minority and lower-income areas. I will also work for safe community activities for our youth. Our community struggles with having activities for our 16-20 age group (not everyone goes skating or plays ball). Most want a place to go beside the Walmart parking lot.

INFRASTRUCTURE

We need to build up and not out. Build buildings that have more than 3 stories. Housing and Commerce can occupy those structures. Our community has too many people moving in and too much to offer to be stagnant. We must move forward.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

- Inner City growth for jobs within walking distance for our Black and Brown Population. I see that we have many individuals that may not have cars to get to work so they cannot maintain employment. More businesses mean more local spending.

I have had many people ask me about my views for this election season. So today this is what I am going to do and inform you where I stand.

I am a native of Fayetteville, Lincoln County, TN. I graduated from Lincoln County High School and Middle Tennessee State University.
I am a wife, mother, Licensed Social Worker, Developmental Therapist, Certified Family Trauma Professional, and Director-at-Large for the Middle Tennessee National Association of Social Workers.

My platform includes Community Development, Infrastructure, Public Safety (Community Policing and Youth Activities), Sanitation, and Waste (Recycling).

Stay tuned for a breakdown of each.

Dear citizens of Fayetteville Tennessee,

between the hours of 6 pm and 12 midnight, my campaign sign has been stolen again from the very section that I have permission to place it in. Well, I am persistent and it will be back. If this is the resistance that I will face as a City Alderman then I am up for the challenge.
