¡ELECTION MARCH 23RD!
For DSCC District 71b - #1
& DPEC D5 Livingston - #33
MY Platform
Champion a progressive reform movement within our state party.
Grow community for those unheard and in need of more inclusive Livingston Parish.
Recruit, train, and connect principled forward-thinking voices for our community.
Create new inclusive spaces and events for our community while also working with current like-minded orgs, local businesses and activist.
This campaign has two major goals:1.) Reform the state democratic party into something worth a damn.2.) Help build out a community for those who want a better more inclusive and equitable parish.The latter is a large team effort, a large coalition of leftist, liberals, socialist, working class, progressivs. This communion of the fed-up, myself included, have charged themselves with building a new party from the ground up. We start by keeping the past party chair, Katie Bernhardt out of office. She, along with her corrupt friends, have allowed a new dark age for our state without a single punch back. We deserve better. Both at the state level and locally here in our parish and her cities. That's where number "2" comes in. Its going to take a lot more effort and time but deserve more here. If you voted in the last election, you'd know there was not a single local democrat on the ballot. That's not okay. even if we disagree, you deserve the chance to have choices. That's how democracy works. So over the next four years, and beyond this position, I will do my best to make sure we get new candidates to give voice to those unheard and grow community for those of us dedicated to a more inclusive, equitable and environmentally conscious parish.
Why I'm Running
I know Livingston Parish could be a beautiful place. Rich in its love for community, the environment, and growth. I know there's a path forward for this place that means a safer, more inclusive, better built home for all of us.Livingston is plagued by false promises, apathy, environmental destruction, over policing, housing shortages, low wages, runaway- capitalism and more. All being kept in place by a few fanatics that do not have our best intentions in mind. Only a select few very conservative republicans get the chance to be paid off to sell us out. Land developers, chain-stores, storage units, and carbon capture all get to benefit while the rest get low-wage jobs, inflated rent, no real public transit or sidewalks or bike lanes but just more roundabouts, canes, Barnes&Noble, and just 10 more subdivisions given the D.R. Horton special. We love a home that cost 3x or 4x the price it should in a neighborhood with half ass, if any, public amenities—like parks and pools, community sheds, pantries or even gardens.We deserve more here. Better schools that don't attack our students for who they are and better libraries that are well funded and safe from book banning. clean watershed that gives us spaces to find community in, fish in, and survive with. As someone personally effected by the flood of 2016, I know first hand what a worst case scenario can look like—and with no real plan by our public officials to actually solve the flooding problem or fight for the real needs of our community, its time for something new. Now I cant do it alone and it wont be done anytime soon, so part of this campaign is using it as a call to action. I want to bring together everyone in our community that feels the same, even those who feel different and willing to back it up with their own solutions, those naive but aspiring, those talented but forgotten, those hurting in silence and those under attack. We deserve to thrive and I need your help to do it.
Some Context
The Louisiana Democratic Party is at a pivotal moment following the elections last fall. It revealed glaring leadership failures and a desperate need for change. This moment demands a party unapologetic on its principles, driven by candidates who ignite excitement and champion marginalized communities fearlessly. Confronting Jeff Landry's dominance and generations of GOP control, demands a bold progressive opposition. This calls for a major reforming of the party, starting with electing new voices to the Democratic State Central Committee (DSCC) and all Democratic Parish Executive Committee's (DPECs) within the state. This will allow us to elect a new party chair who will help steer the next 4 years of this movement and install a new party platform. As one of the "Blue Reboot" and "LABlueTeam" reform candidates, if elected, I pledge to do my part in the revitalization of the party on behalf of our community.
