What we’re going to do together:
The systems that should sustain our community and help it prosper are broken. Period.
And unless we fix them, we’ll never end the cycles that have been holding people back for generations. In order to bring new, lasting change, we need an experienced legislator with a revolutionary agenda as our next Councilmember At-Large.
Fight Crime without Compromising Reform
JP will radically reform our criminal justice system. He will fight to fully fund and fix our broken system. He'll restore sanity to juvenile court by properly funding it – while targeting the adults who profit off children committing crime.
Protect Our Schools and Resources
JP will lead the charge for the City to fund Early Childhood education in a sustainable way while protecting our libraries and funding for our schools.
Smart Growth
JP will advocate for smart and thoughtful development that nurtures dynamic growth while preserving the unique characteristics and culture of each neighborhood.
Reset Public Franchises
JP will end monopoly franchise systems that prevent competition, like Cox. He’ll fight for more high-speed broadband options with open agreements while working for a permanent municipal alternative so everyone has access to the internet.
Our City, Our Culture
JP will protect our culture and maintain the integrity of our unique neighborhoods by making housing affordable and available. He’ll prevent the government from harassing our musicians and culture bearers.
Equality for All
JP will fight for equality for all our diverse communities, care for the most vulnerable citizens and make sure our City treats everyone with dignity.
A New Economy Focused on You
JP will work to grow an equitable economy, including a living wage, a support system for working parents, and resources for small businesses. All citizens deserve the opportunity to be paid a living wage; it’s time for the City Council to stop giving lip service to it.
Utilities that Work For Us, Not Against Us
JP will take on the Sewerage and Water Board with their broken billing system and lack of accountability. Entergy cannot continue to be unchecked and must be reminded it works for us.
