Path to Victory
We’re building a grassroots movement powered by:
Deep community connections

A community-driven plan for all
St. Petersburg residents and businesses.
An affordable city for everyone.
Whether you're a resident or a small business, you should have the opportunity to thrive in our city. This means having more affordable housing options, programs to support small businesses and their employees, and reducing the cost of living for all residents. These are some of the ideas we have to make St. Pete a more affordable city:
-
Increasing new affordable housing options for residents with different needs
-
Provide residential repair and rehabilitation programs to improve safety and reduce resident displacement
-
Pass a policy to limit private equity purchases of single-family residences
-
Increasing public transit options to reduce reliance on cars and improve safety
-
Work with small businesses to identify financial pain points like health insurance, rental costs, and shared resources to build sustainability and partnerships.
Community-centered infrastructure upgrades
Building and maintaining our city's infrastructure is a core government function. We deserve a city that works for everyone: complete streets, transit options, resilient stormwater systems, and so much more.
-
After two back-to-back hurricanes and decades of deferred maintenance, it's time for us to bring our stormwater and city infrastructure up to date and invest in preventive measures to increase our resilience
-
Increased public transit options and street upgrades like increased rapid transit, improved bus routes, more bike lanes, and intentional implementation of complete streets in South St. Petersburg
-
Updated zoning and ordinances that allow for affordable housing options, density near transit, and easier permitting
Neighborhood renaissance and revitalization
When things get tough, we rely on our neighbors. We see this during hurricane season and other crises--but what if we built those connections all the time? Better support for the community organizations that strengthen our social fabric is a vital part of a resilient, engaged city. Neighborhood associations, youth prevention programming, and community gardens are nexus points for residents to come together, connect, and build community. Healthy communities are engaged communities.
-
Increased support for neighborhood associations to increase resident engagement and communication about city programming
-
Streamlining access to city resources and programming for residents and small businesses
-
Identifying barriers to resident engagement in city initiatives and meetings (ex. providing childcare for parents and hosting meetings after work hours)
-
Exploring creative partnerships with our arts and culture community to better support these institutions and connect them with residents and small businesses.
