I have the time, talent, experience, and desire to be Ward 1 Alderman.
Pass Christian is blessed with a fine Police Department and low crime rate. And there are lots of things we can do better to continue that blessing. First, I would like an analysis of why officers are leaving the PCPD. Then the city government should work to manage any identified insufficiencies. Also, study after study shows that improvements such as community gardens and wall murals have a huge impact on lowering crime and raising the intrinsic value of a town. To get things done, let’s build and improve our public/private partnerships. For instance, let’s partner the City Beautification Department with the garden club, churches and other groups to create community gardens throughout town.
Let’s partner Public Works with the Pass Christian Art Association to paint murals on the sides of blighted buildings and thriving businesses and schools. These murals could highlight Pass Christian natives and those who now call it home.

I will actively increase communication between the city and its residents. Communication, communication, communication. I would post a monthly report to tell the citizens about what the city has done and will do in the near future. I would list upcoming events, new businesses and building permits and maybe even home sales. And I would tell you about the city finances every month.
I will work on better marketing for the city. For instance, Pass Christian was chartered as a town in 1848. The year 2023 will be Pass Christian’s 175th birthday. If I am on the Board, I will ask that a group of citizens be appointed now to determine how we celebrate that birthday and market the heck out of it. It could and should be the biggest event in the Pass’s history.
Part of the $1 million is would spend on planning. The last comprehensive plan for this city was in 2006, published months after Katrina. Flying by the seat of our pants has worked okay, but there’s a better way. Classic problem solving comes in 3 steps: first figure out where you to go (what’s the goal). Second is to figure out where we are, and then, and only then do you go to the 3rd step and plot the course to reach the goal.
I support beginning public forums to come to consensus on where WE want to see the town go. Then evaluate where we are and come up with the most cost efficient, and effective way to reach our goals. The rest of the $1 million would be spent based on the priorities that come out of a new comprehensive plan.
