THE VISION FOR HOLLYWOOD
JUSTICE
In my campaign for Mayor of Hollywood, Florida, I prioritize justice, public safety, and community well-being. I am committed to promoting community policing initiatives that build trust and collaboration between law enforcement and residents, ensuring transparency and accountability. By implementing comprehensive strategies to address crime, including increased police presence and effective crime prevention programs, we will enhance public safety for all. I recognize the importance of prioritizing mental health support, allocating resources to expand access to services and training law enforcement officers to de-escalate situations involving mental health crises. Furthermore, I advocate for police accountability measures, investment in youth programs, combating substance abuse, and addressing racial and social equity within the criminal justice system. By fostering trust, communication, and collaboration with community organizations, we can create a safer, more just, and inclusive Hollywood for all.
DEVELOPMENT
In my campaign for Mayor of Hollywood, Florida, I am dedicated to fostering responsible and inclusive development that prioritizes the needs of our community. This includes advocating for policies that prioritize affordable housing options for residents of all income levels and preserving the character of our city by maintaining low-rise buildings and historic architecture. Addressing homelessness is also a key focus, where I will work to develop comprehensive solutions that provide housing, support services, and opportunities for individuals in need. Additionally, I aim to promote mixed-use development to create vibrant and walkable neighborhoods, while also prioritizing sustainable practices to protect our environment and combat climate change. Supporting local businesses, revitalizing neighborhoods, and ensuring community engagement and input in the development process are essential aspects of my vision for Hollywood's future. Together, we can create a city that is inclusive, sustainable, and thriving for all.
ENVIRONMENT
In my campaign for mayor of a greener, more sustainable Hollywood, I am committed to safeguarding our environment for future generations. My platform emphasizes promoting renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, preserving vital natural habitats, and enhancing green spaces throughout our city. I advocate for sustainable practices in businesses and residences, tackling climate change head-on with proactive measures and resilience strategies. We'll encourage public transportation, combat plastic pollution, and engage the community through education and collaboration. As Mayor, I will lead by example, prioritizing environmental considerations in every decision to ensure a healthier, more vibrant Hollywood for all.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Public transportation plays a vital role in connecting communities and providing access to essential services. That's why I'm committed to expanding the Circuit service citywide and extending its hours to 7 a.m. - 12 a.m. The Circuit is a convenient, on-demand shuttle service that offers residents a flexible and affordable way to get around town. To make public transportation even more accessible, I propose introducing a free ride card option for residents, available for a set price. This initiative aims to remove financial barriers and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to travel conveniently and affordably within our city. By improving and expanding public transportation options, we can enhance mobility, reduce traffic congestion, and promote a more sustainable and equitable community for all residents. Let's work together to make transportation accessible and convenient for everyone.
In addition to expanding the Circuit service and offering free ride cards, we're also dedicated to collaborating with local businesses to ensure that residents can get to work on time. By partnering with employers, we'll coordinate shuttle routes and schedules to align with typical work hours, making it easier for employees to commute without the hassle of driving or parking. This collaborative effort not only benefits employees by providing reliable transportation options but also supports local businesses by ensuring a steady workforce. Together, we can strengthen our community's economy and improve the quality of life for all residents. Let's build a transportation system that works for everyone.
COMMUNITY
In my campaign for Mayor of Hollywood, Florida, I am dedicated to building strong, vibrant communities where residents feel connected, supported, and valued. This includes promoting the establishment of community gardens to foster a sense of shared purpose and sustainability. Additionally, I will organize and support a diverse array of neighborhood events, from block parties to cultural festivals, to celebrate our diversity and strengthen social bonds. Volunteer activities and community service projects will empower residents to make a positive impact, while neighborhood watch programs will enhance safety and security. By investing in community centers, cultural exchange programs, and youth engagement initiatives, we can create inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome and valued. Together, let's foster a sense of belonging and community pride in every corner of Hollywood for all.
OPEN TRANSPARENCY
In my campaign for Mayor of Hollywood, Florida, I am dedicated to promoting open transparency in governance to foster accountability and trust within our community. This includes enhancing government transparency by making information easily accessible to the public, encouraging public participation through town halls and community forums, and ensuring timely responses to public records requests. I will advocate for open data initiatives and ethics reforms to strengthen integrity and prevent corruption in government operations. By leading by example, supporting independent oversight, and improving accessibility to government services, we can build a stronger foundation of trust and confidence in our local government. Together, let's create a more transparent and accountable Hollywood for all.
INDEPENDENT POWER
In my campaign for Mayor of Hollywood, Florida, I am committed to establishing an independent power entity that harnesses the abundant solar energy available to our city. By creating a public solar entity owned and operated by the city, we can reduce our dependency on traditional utilities like Florida Power and Light (FPL) while promoting renewable energy sources. This initiative will not only lower energy costs for residents and businesses but also increase our energy independence and resilience in the face of disruptions. Additionally, investing in solar energy infrastructure will stimulate economic growth, create green jobs, and contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment. By educating and empowering residents, collaborating with stakeholders, and leading by example, we can ensure a smooth transition to renewable energy and establish Hollywood as a leader in environmental stewardship and sustainability. Together, let's power our city with clean, affordable solar energy for the benefit of all.
