For years, Atlanta has been slowed down by the poor decisions of our elected leaders. Matt believes in the FULL promise of the Atlanta Beltline - which from it's inception included rail to connect our neighborhoods. This is a vital tool in helping reducing commute times around the city.

Extend Legacy Resident Tax freezes and ensure that our longtime neighbors are not forced out of their homes due to property tax increases.

Our leaders should be the epitome of ethics - not skirting the rules. From not filing campaign reports to more serious violations, slap on the wrist fines are not stopping the problem. Increasing fines for ethic violations will help.

Provide housing subsidies for APD officers to live in the zones they patrol. This will increase visibility and build stronger relationships with the community.

Safer transportation options including bike lanes. This includes more protected bike lanes and fining vehicles that are stopped or parked blocking a dedicated bike lane.

Corporations should not own the bulk of Atlanta's homes. Changing the rules for business licenses for multi-family and single family housing rentals to require LOCAL management and limit the number of single family homes one entity may own.

Our brave members of the Atlanta Police Department are doing more with less. Enhance racial and cultural sensitivity trainings and train our officers how to spot mental health crisis situations. This also means expanding PAD services to a 24/7 model.

Corruption and cronyism has plagued our city for too long. We need an independent Inspector General while making sure that city employees have rights throughout the investigation process.

Too often, walking through the streets of Atlanta requires you to literally walk in the streets. Our sidewalks should be connected and open. Fees for closing sidewalks need to be increased. Strictly enforce keeping sidewalks clear of vehicles.
