Join me at 6:30 pm tonight for the first mayoral forum of the runoff election. Tune in to support #TeamTJ

So, to the single mother struggling to make ends meet,
to the LGBT+ youth wondering if Saint Louis is a home for them, and to anyone who has felt like your government has forgotten you and left you behind, I see you and I’m ready to serve. #TeamTJ

I plan on replacing the Public Safety Director.

I respect Judge Edwards, but it's time for a new direction.

We'll put the public back in public safety, we'll make sure that police aren't the only response when you call 9-1-1, and we'll lead with prevention-first.

Yes or No: would you veto any legislation approving aerial surveillance?

In one word: YES!

I want to revamp and reshape SLDC so that it is more outward facing, works better with communities, and create neighborhood development that is community-oriented throughout the City.

I will work with the next Treasurer to bring banks to the table and ask them to do more for our Black and brown communities.

We need a Mayor ready to lead on day one to tackle our most pressing issues.

We need to use the incoming money to keep people in their homes with rental assistance, stand up mass vaccination clinics, and many other immediate needs.

We need strong oversight for the distribution of these funds and have a transparency portal for these funds.

We have food deserts, bank deserts, and other stark divides in access to services in our City.

We will demand developers do more, and if they want healthy subsidies, they'll be required to focus North of Delmar. #TeamTJ

The College Kids Children's Savings Program provides financial empowerment to children AND their families. #TeamTJ

The Editorial Board is racist and sexist.

I set boundaries with who I meet with.

I'm ready to work with @DrSamPage and @QuintonLucasKC to be a unified front to advance an urban agenda at the State Legislature.

I am the ONLY candidate in this race who won't have to build relationships from scratch. I'm ready on Day One.

I have a Master's in Health Administration with a background in public health.

At this moment in history, we need a County Executive who's a doctor and a Mayor with a background in public health.

I'll keep our region healthy and safe.

Being Mayor requires one to recognize that sometimes you have to be quiet and listen to those most affected.

The people closest to the problem are closest to the solution.

I am proposing putting more social workers, case managers, and other trained professionals so that the right person is dispatched to the right call.

I am asking you to dream bigger.

Because bigger and better is indeed possible!

But this change won’t happen automatically. This kind of change, not incremental change, but real change; real transformation, requires a Mayor who is ready to embrace a new vision for St. Louis.

We don’t have time for leadership that has to learn on the job.

We need a Mayor ready to lead on day one.

I will be that Mayor!

This race isn't over yet. I need your help!

Can you chip in $20 today?
