Building a Stronger Fort Worth.

Criminal Justice Reform

Everyone in Fort Worth, no matter their background, should be able to feel safe and secure in their own home. Recent events have eroded trust in our police force, and local officials haven’t done enough to rebuild that trust. The retirement of our police chief is an opportunity we must not pass up. As your mayor, I will call for a national search for a new police chief who prioritizes de-escalation tactics and our jail diversion center. I will move to form a Citizen Review Board for the Police Use of Force to hold officers accountable when necessary. With these measures, our community can focus on promoting public safety together.

Improved Infrastructure

We all deserve reliable infrastructure in Fort Worth. No one should be worried about a pothole damaging their car on the drive to work. But in many neighborhoods, our roads are in desperate need of repair. As mayor, I will seek a comprehensive review of our streets, and work to fix them as quickly as possible. And for those who need or prefer public transportation, I will coordinate closely with our transit agency to ensure our buses are frequent, safe, and reliable.

Transparency

The people of Fort Worth deserve to know how decisions are being made about our community. But too often, our city officials are making these decisions behind closed doors while being pressured by groups who don’t have our best interests at heart. I will prioritize transparency and communication about the choices our city council is making so that everyone has the opportunity to engage with these decisions, not just a powerful few.
