Which electoral system do you support for the city of Hopkinsville? Why?

Partisan elections. I think it’s the best way to be transparent.

My plan is to work with the owner of these structures to fix the ones that can be fixed and remove the ones that can’t be fixed.

Help remove dilapidated housing and replace them with new homes.

I will work diligently with leaders of government , nonprofit, and business leaders to help encourage economic development and job growth.

I would place reduction of gun violence high on the list of things to work on in Hopkinsville.

I would negotiate with other leaders in the community and government and new ways of funding revitalization for downtown Hopkinsville.
