"I BELIEVE IN ST. LOUIS"

The City of St. Louis, as the historic core, can lead our region out of stagnation and put us on the path to growth for the first time in decades. It won’t be easy. We are facing overwhelming odds. But together we can rebuild.

As mayor, I’ll be grounded in long-term, sustainable solutions. I am committed to leading without the influence of special interests, protecting our public resources, building new systems of public safety and justice, and bringing prosperity to neighborhoods both north and south of Delmar.

I hope you’ll join us.

With the ten steps I am putting forward, we will improve trust between communities and our police department, implement proven strategies to reduce violent crime, and ensure our emergency services are responsive when they are needed the most.
