Growing the economy in a time where restaurants are closing their doors is a challenge that requires creative and strategic partnerships.

Tyler's residents deserve leadership that recognize and empathize with the safety concerns that are top of mind for certain neighborhoods. Things that cause a cycle of poverty and despair should be considered in the way that each corner of Tyler is governed. The presence of police and community resources should reflect the necessity and population numbers. 

Sidewalks and streetlights are not privileges but necessities that create a deterrent for crime and build community buy in. Residence deserves safe corners for children to ride their bikes as well as college students in transit to and from university and work.
