THE PROMISE. THE PROGRESS. THE PROGRESSION.

Four Years of Results. A Vision for What Comes Next.

Four years ago, I asked the people of District E to give me an opportunity to serve.

I didn’t promise that every problem would be solved overnight. I promised to work, listen, remain accessible, fight for our neighborhoods, and make sure District E received its fair share of investment and attention.

My priorities were straightforward: economic development, infrastructure, public safety, stronger neighborhoods, and responsive representation.

Those weren’t just campaign promises. They became the roadmap for my first term.

Today, I am asking District E for another four years—not because the work is finished, but because we are seeing results, and there is more work ahead.

THE PROMISE

I promised to fight for economic opportunity and bring new investment and jobs into District E.

I promised to address aging streets, drainage, sewer systems, and infrastructure after years of deferred needs.

I promised to prioritize public safety and advocate for the resources our officers and neighborhoods need.

And I promised to represent all of District E—from Cedar Grove to Southern Hills and every neighborhood in between.

Those were the promises. Here is the progress.

THE PROGRESS

Over the past four years, more than 20 new businesses and franchises have invested in District E, representing more than $30 million in private investment and helping create more than 200 jobs.

ALDI, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, Dutch Bros, 7 Brew, Scooter’s Coffee, Chipotle, Panda Express, Firehouse Subs, Take 5, ANECA Federal Credit Union, Chick O’ Fish and others have chosen to invest in our community.

That means more than new signs and buildings. It means jobs, services, convenience, economic activity, and confidence in District E.

$39.5 Million for District E Infrastructure

Infrastructure has been one of my highest priorities.

Through Shreveport’s $256 million bond program, approximately $39.5 million was allocated to District E—the largest allocation of any council district.

And residents are beginning to see projects move from funding to pavement.

COMPLETED: Work has reached McCarey Street, 71st Street, Liberty Street, 73rd Street, Turner Lane, Bethany Street, Homalot Drive, Debra Joy Street, Bitt Street, Southwood Drive, St. Helens Drive, Nathan Drive, Nathan Circle, Hickory Ridge Circle, Amelia Avenue, Lotus Lane, Brandon Drive, Cedar Hill Lane, Clayton Court, Rosedown Drive, Candlestick Circle and other areas. Sidewalk improvements have also been completed on portions of Matthew Place and Leaside Way.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION: Additional work is underway on portions of Francis Drive, Midvale Drive and 77th Street, along with sidewalk improvements in the Baird Road and Ridgewood Drive areas.

NEXT UP: Projects in design include portions of East 73rd Street, East 80th Street, South Brookwood Drive, Southland Park Drive, Blom Boulevard, Bridal Wreath Trail, Chase Way, Chinquapin Drive, Coronado Drive, Hilton Drive, Ridgewood Drive and Mt. Zion Road.

That’s the difference between simply saying we need better streets and being able to show residents:

What’s finished. What’s being built. And what’s coming next.

A STRONGER PUBLIC-SAFETY PRESENCE

Public safety has remained a priority.

District E now benefits from two police substations serving our communities: the East Shreveport Police Substation at 6901 St. Vincent Avenue in the Cedar Grove area, and the Kingston Road Police Substation in Southern Hills.

But public safety requires more than buildings. We must continue working on police and fire compensation, recruitment and retention, equipment, technology, neighborhood policing, and building stronger relationships between officers and residents.

EARNING THE DPEC ENDORSEMENT

I am also honored to have received the official endorsement of the Caddo Parish Democratic Executive Committee (DPEC) in my reelection campaign.

That endorsement means a great deal to me.

Four years ago, I stood before the committee with promises and a vision. This year, I was able to stand before them with a record of progress.

I am grateful for their confidence and support. But no endorsement is more important than the trust of the people I represent. That is why I will continue working to earn your support neighborhood by neighborhood and voter by voter.

THE PROGRESSION: WHAT COMES NEXT

I’m proud of our progress, but I’m not satisfied.

The next four years must be about accelerating the work already underway.

That means moving streets from design to construction to completion. It means pursuing quality economic development that creates jobs, supports local entrepreneurs, fills vacant properties and strengthens our tax base.

It means continuing to improve public safety through competitive compensation, recruitment, technology, equipment and neighborhood-based policing.

And it means making sure progress reaches every neighborhood in District E—not just our major commercial corridors.

I want residents to be able to turn onto their own street and see the difference.

That’s the progression I am fighting for:

From investment to impact.
From plans to completed projects.
From economic growth to greater opportunity.
From stronger public safety to stronger neighborhoods.
From promises made to progress you can actually see.

Four years ago, I asked District E for an opportunity to serve.

Today, I am asking for another four years to finish projects already underway, build on the progress we’ve made, and keep District E moving forward.

There are still streets to fix, neighborhoods to strengthen, businesses to recruit, jobs to create and public-safety challenges to address.

The work isn’t finished. But the work is producing results.

The first four years were about turning promises into progress.

The next four will be about accelerating that progress and completing the work.

I remain humbled by the opportunity to serve and committed to working for every neighborhood and every resident of District E.

THE PROMISE.
THE PROGRESS.
THE PROGRESSION.
