Black moms in our country are dying from childbirth-related causes 3-4 times more often than white moms. Any meaningful solution to our maternal mortality crisis must address structural racism as a root cause of this problem. My new idea would tackle this crisis head on.
I just filed my petitions to run for re-election as your Mayor. Let’s continue the progress we started and push for more positive change here in Jackson. 💯
Thanks to Commissioner Daniel Mahoney for endorsing our campaign! I look forward to continuing to work with him to support the Southside and ensure that we build a more equitable city.

And like clockwork, Dallas Police Dept. sends out their t̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ police chief Renee Hall to do her usual SamboSplainin'. She claims she hasn't seen the video of suspected white supremacist Austin Shuffield viciously beating a Black woman. Renee's jobs is to protect racists
Suspected white supremacist Austin Shuffield of Dallas was charged with a misdemeanor after this deadly assault on a Black woman. He instigated an argument with her over a parking spot, where he called her racial slurs, pulled a gun on her, and then viciously beat her up
Slavery is a stain on America & we need to address it head on. I believe it’s time to start a national, full-blown conversation about reparations. I support the bill in the House to support a congressional panel of experts so that our nation can do what’s right & begin to heal.
