What would your top priorities be if you are elected?
It’s crucial that we take swift and decisive action to address gun violence before the summer season arrives and the risk of escalation increases. This issue cannot be ignored any longer.
Supporting the right of Israel to defend itself as a refuge for Jews! Fighting the growing Jew-hatred and antisemitism. Supporting sovereignty for Ukraine. Moscow out now! Defending constitutional protections. Backing union struggles. Workers need to take power and create a new state based on solidarity and cooperation.
As mayor, I’d prioritize infrastructure, public safety and jail diversion, including a youth program using Fort Worth’s cultural arts. I’d also lead a national search for our next police chief to ensure strong, accountable leadership. These steps will create a safer, more vibrant city for everyone.

Promote safety rst in public, at home and around acquaintances. Encourage self-care, foster citizen mutual support, measure life satisfaction of citizens, then take action based on areas needing enhancement. Improve communication between citizens and council and raise crime prevention e orts by increasing mental health resources.
I will investigate the Civil Rights Act to see if it has been upheld properly by the U.S. government. Then I will address the educational, nancial and environmental reciprocity in the courts on behalf of my community by utilizing the resources in the authority of the local government to address such issues.
