Where We Stand
At this moment of incredible opportunity, our city is faced with many challenges. From overcoming the historical inequities that have prevented families from accumulating wealth, to addressing crises of public health and education, the tasks and conversations ahead of us will not be easy.
But we will rise to meet them.
Financial Support for All St. Louisans
The financial health of our city begins with its people. As Treasurer, I am committed to fighting hard to ensure that no one in St. Louis is unbanked or underbanked, that every family has access to financial literacy and planning programs free of charge, and that our children are offered an opportunity to begin investing in themselves from a young age. The Office of Financial Empowerment has made great strides in educating and assisting St. Louisans - and we can do more.
Empowering Public Education
As a former teacher and School Board Member, I have seen firsthand the need to strengthen relationships between our schools and our city government. From shortages of quality teachers to a lack of development driving school closures, we need to tackle the crises facing public education head-on with innovative solutions. As Treasurer, I am committed to partnering with local financial institutions to find ways to keep quality educators teaching - and living - in the City of St. Louis.
Investments For the People, By the People
As your Treasurer, I am committed to continuing our office’s dedication to accountable, accessible, and transparent government. You should know where your city is investing your tax dollars, and have the opportunity to make your voice heard as part of that process. City services should be similarly open and accessible, and as Treasurer I will continue the process of modernizing the functions of our office, to offer you a government that is truly 21st-century.
