Quality of Life & Public Safety

To attract and retain talent—especially for anchor institutions like Centra Health, Framatome, and BWXT—Lynchburg must offer a premier quality of life and reliable public safety.

Invest in Downtown and Cultural Assets

Large employers rely on a vibrant downtown, the Academy Center of the Arts, the Blackwater Creek Trail, and local restaurants to recruit top talent. I will champion continued strategic investment in these areas as an economic necessity, not a luxury.

Local Public Safety Over National Politics

Keep the Lynchburg Police Department focused on local community policing rather than being dragged into federal immigration enforcement. The city should prioritize filling the 50+ vacant police officer positions and ensuring competitive pay escalation to retain officers, rather than pursuing polarizing, unfunded national programs like the 287(g) ICE agreement.
