The Christmas List 

Economic Development

• There are 75 thousand residents living in the New Orleans East and yet there is no specific number stating how many small business owners are in the New Orleans East. Metairie-New Orleans Metropolitan area has over 154,811 small businesses.

• I plan to bring in funding allowing for small business owners to have the opportunity to open their small business which would allow for money to go back into the community. As well as providing a quality of life.  

• Quality of Life

Everyone deserves a quality of life. Especially if you work hard. The New Orleans East and the Lower 9th Ward has been forgotten. And it's because they feel we don't fall into a economic catagory that's deemed important we are over looked. Simple things are all we are asking for. 

• Cap on rent. The New Orleans East and The Lower 9th ward lives below the poverty line. If so why are they paying thousand of dollars in rent. I will create a rent cap reflecting how much your district makes so it will match your cost of living. That way many residents don't have to decide which bill they have to pay. 

• Working street lights.

• Roads that are safe to drive on. 

• Drains that work. 

• Programs to help our kids stray away from crime. 

• Decent parks that our kids can play on. 

• An actual bus stop with a seat. 

• Bike lanes to protect pedestrians. 

All these things seem simple but it's not to the average person who doesn't have these things.
