My background is I'm born and raised as a resident in Baltimore City. I've been a servant of the resident s of Baltimore City for many years helping and providing resources to help men, women and children in many living ways. I am also apart of the fabric of the community Because we are one body that experience the same problems
In our community cleaning the community is one of the number one crime fighting strategies that reduce homicides, theft and vandalism. So I would expand the cleanliness components in other parts of Baltimore City, I think that will reduce Crime and grime from growing in our communities.
I will fund public education through donors choice, Also adopt a classroom through grant funding opportunities and scholarships are other ways to receive the means needed to expand classroom resources. And structural maintenance is all inclusive.
Raising awareness through education can help address heath equity, Health care organization can help reduce ethnic disparities buy offering cultural awareness training to health care providers. I would invest in more mobile clinics, And extend telehealth services. So That resident can become more trustworthy and engage with health care resources.
Education is priority, I would share news on social media, Hang up awareness posters, Find ways and means to learn how to practice using safe and non toxic buildings supplies conserving energy and water. Recycling, activism, and others.
I would create incentives for quality responsible ownership and occupancy of vacant buildings. Also turn vacant buildings into schools, apartments, gardens, greenhouses, public parks, libraries, And many more quality of life mplementation.
The advantages of reducing the size of the city council I think would help strengthen the sharing and consolidating services. I think It would also eliminate confusion concerning city planning such as parks and recreation services, And budgeting is one of the most important things local government does.
