Michelle has been serving as a leader at work, in the community, and at her church for many years. To name a few of her dedicated work, community, and church affiliations and accomplishments:
As 4th District Councilwoman Michelle is committed to voicing the concerns of her Constituents while working with Stakeholders, and developing Public and Private Sector relationships. This vision includes working in solidarity with her council colleagues to assure our city budget is on more solid ground by ascertaining current budgets, spending plans and assuring we are solvent. Assure legislation balances our Middle class economic slippery slope, and address disenfranchisement of low income family’s disparities. Look for possible elimination of redundancies. Maintain and attract new businesses and people to stay especially Millennials. Support businesses and venues beyond normal business hours. Continue to sponsor and support Tourism. Maintain property tax incentives, provide more playgrounds, and family friendly milieu. Assure safety and protection by advocating for community policing, police department foot patrols, neighborhood specific policing tactics, targeting of known drug corners and locations. To curtail crime, consider reforming existing law enforcement resources, and better application of City department resources for Constituents. Also, encourage safe community events to foster neighborhood connectivity. These are some of Michelle and her Constituents thoughts on moving the 4th District and the City of Wilmington forward!

"Moving the 4th District Forward in 2024 and Beyond"
Economic Development
I am committed to fostering economic development that benefits all members of our community, not just a select few. I believe in creating opportunities for small businesses to thrive and for residents to access good-paying jobs. I will continue to work to ensure that economic growth is sustainable and equitable, with a focus on environmental justice to protect our natural resources for future generations.
Neighborhood Stabilization
Neighborhood stabilization is a key priority for me. I will work with all my stakeholders to address blight and disinvestment in our communities, and to ensure that all residents have access to safe, affordable housing. By investing in our neighborhoods and supporting community-led initiatives, we can create vibrant and thriving places for all to call home.
Public Safety
Public safety is paramount to the well-being of our community. We will work to build trust between law enforcement and residents, and to address the root causes of crime through community-based solutions. By investing in programs that support at-risk youth like Community Public Safety and provide alternatives to incarceration, we can create a safer and more just society for all if we work together!
Join me in my efforts to continue to create a more just and prosperous community for all in the 4th District. Together, we can build a better future for ourselves and for generations to come if we do it together!
