What I’m Fighting For in District 3

---

We need to move better—on foot, by bike, and by bus.

• Improve sidewalk access and pedestrian safety across neighborhoods
   
• Expand protected bike lanes and safe routes to schools
   
• Upgrade public transit frequency and reliability
   
• Ease traffic congestion and fix neglected roads
   

Why it matters: Safer, walkable streets aren’t just about mobility—they’re about dignity, connection, and economic opportunity.

Growth is happening. It’s time we guide it responsibly.

• Protect affordable housing and mixed-income developments
   
• Support zoning that meets real community needs—not just developers
   
• Preserve neighborhood character while increasing housing access
   
• Expand support for renters, including legal aid and stability services
   

Why it matters: No one should be pushed out of the community they love just because of rising costs.

Small businesses are the soul of District 3.

• Champion small business grants, co-working spaces, and local vendor incentives
   
• Support workforce development and job training for trades, tech, and tourism
   
• Make permitting, licensing, and inspections faster and more transparent
   

Why it matters: When local businesses thrive, our neighborhoods flourish.

Let’s create safer streets with prevention, not just punishment.

• Invest in neighborhood lighting, tree trimming, and trash pickup
   
• Expand mental health crisis response and community policing alternatives
   
• Promote neighborhood watch programs and public safety grants
   
• Ensure transparency and accountability in city safety policy
   

Why it matters: Real safety comes from strong communities and proactive city leadership.

Let’s protect our city for the next generation.

• Preserve green spaces, lakes, and trails
   
• Prioritize eco-friendly development and smart energy use
   
• Support climate resilience efforts like heat safety programs and flood mitigation
   
• Encourage composting, recycling, and sustainability programs in every neighborhood
   

Why it matters: Orlando’s future depends on what we do today.
