Priorities
Richard Parker's Issues
As your councilman, my focus is on building a stronger, more equitable community. Here are six key areas I’m dedicated to addressing:
1
Affordable Housing Advocacy
Ensuring accessible and affordable housing options for all residents through strategic planning and collaboration with housing agencies and non-profit leaders in this field.
2
Education Reform
Fostering a supportive educational environment by advocating for increased funding, innovative programs, and equitable access to quality education. It also means better managing the resources that we do have.
3
Economic Development Plan
Implementing policies to spur local economic growth, attract new businesses, and create job opportunities for our residents. We must get rid of the red tape that makes development in Baltimore so hard and time-consuming.
4
Public Safety Enhancement
Working closely with law enforcement and community stakeholders to implement effective, community-led crime prevention strategies and improve neighborhood safety. No more passes for bad behavior.
5
Infrastructure Improvement
Investing in critical infrastructure projects to enhance transportation, utilities, and public amenities for the betterment of our communities.
