Building a Better McDonough Together
You work hard, pay your taxes, and deserve a city government that works FOR you.
You want fair treatment, safe neighborhoods, and leaders who listen to District 1 residents like you.
You're Tired of Being Ignored by City Hall
These problems keep you up at night, and you deserve better. As a District 1 resident, you've experienced firsthand how broken city government affects your daily life and your family's future.
Code Enforcement Harassment
You get citations for minor issues while real problems like crumbling sidewalks go unfixed. Code enforcement feels like harassment, not help to improve our community.
Small Business Struggles
You watch local businesses struggle with red tape while your neighborhood loses jobs and economic opportunity. Entrepreneurs face unnecessary barriers to success.
Youth Safety Crisis
You worry about your kids experimenting with synthetic drugs while they have nowhere safe and positive to spend their time after school and on weekends.
Closed-Door Decisions
You feel shut out when city hall makes decisions about YOUR community without asking for YOUR input or considering how it affects your family.

Xavier's 4-Point Solution Framework
Real solutions to the problems that keep you up at night. These aren't empty campaign promises - they're specific actions we'll take together to transform District 1.
1
Fair City Services
END code enforcement bullying and START helping residents improve their properties. FIX our sidewalks, parks, and infrastructure with your tax dollars working for you.
  • Reform code enforcement to focus on assistance, not citations
  • Prioritize sidewalk and street repairs in District 1
  • Improve park maintenance and safety
2
Small Business Champion
CUT unnecessary red tape that strangles local entrepreneurs. CREATE real opportunities for District 1 businesses to thrive and provide good jobs for our neighbors.
  • Streamline business permitting process
  • Support minority-owned business development
  • Advocate for business-friendly zoning policies
3
Safer McDonough
COMBAT the youth drug epidemic with real solutions. CREATE positive alternatives and safe spaces where our children can grow, learn, and thrive after school.
  • Expand youth recreation and mentorship programs
  • Support community policing initiatives
  • Partner with schools on drug prevention education
4
Government Accountability
OPEN the budget books so you can see where your tax dollars go. INCLUDE your voice in decisions that affect your family, your property, and your future.
  • Hold quarterly District 1 town halls
  • Publish transparent budget reports online
  • Create citizen advisory committees for major decisions
Imagine Your McDonough in 4 Years
Picture this: A McDonough where code enforcement helps instead of harasses. Where small businesses thrive and create jobs for your neighbors. Where your children have safe places to grow and positive activities that keep them engaged and away from drugs.
Safe Neighborhoods
Well-maintained sidewalks and streets where families feel secure walking and children can play safely in every corner of District 1.
Thriving Economy
Local businesses flourishing with reduced red tape, creating jobs and bringing economic opportunity directly to our community.
Your Voice Heard
City hall that seeks YOUR input before making decisions that affect YOUR life, with transparent government that serves residents first.
This is the McDonough we can build together. When residents like you are empowered to participate in local government, real change becomes possible.
We Can't Afford Four More Years of the Same
Without change, the problems plaguing District 1 will only get worse. The stakes are too high to sit this election out - your family's future depends on the choice you make today.
1
Status Quo Continues
Code enforcement keeps treating residents like criminals instead of offering help and support for property improvements.
2
Economic Decline
Small businesses continue struggling with unnecessary barriers while job opportunities move to other communities.
3
Youth Problems Worsen
Drug problems escalate without positive alternatives, and our children have fewer safe spaces for constructive activities.
4
Voices Ignored
City hall keeps making decisions without YOUR input while District 1 residents remain shut out of the process.

The choice is yours: more of the same dysfunction, or real change that puts District 1 residents first. Your vote on election day will determine which path we take.
