Identifying the Issues in Washington D.C.
BRING BACK THE BIBLE
Our nation’s earliest leaders built this country on principles rooted in faith, discipline, and moral responsibility. Today, we must ask ourselves: Where is our foundation? Restoring biblical values is not about religion alone—it is about returning to the ethical compass that shaped our laws, our communities, and our shared identity. By bringing back the Bible, we strengthen the moral framework that guides our families, our schools, and our city’s future.
TRADITIONAL FAMILIES
Strong families are the cornerstone of generational wealth, stability, and community advancement. Multi‑generational homes foster accountability, respect, and shared responsibility—values that build stronger neighborhoods and stronger futures. By uplifting the traditional family, we create pathways for economic development, cultural preservation, and long‑term progress that honors our history while preparing the next generation for success.
ELEVATE EDUCATION
In Washington, D.C., the cost of education does not match the outcomes our students deserve. This misalignment demands bold reform. School Choice for All—supported by a robust voucher program—empowers families to select the best educational environment for their children. By partnering with small businesses to provide mentorships, apprenticeships, and succession opportunities, we cultivate a pipeline of skilled, confident, and career‑ready young adults who can thrive for decades to come.
CANCEL CRIME
Every resident deserves to feel safe walking their streets, sitting in their cars, and living without fear—especially fear of our own children. Crime prevention must begin with cultivation, not incarceration. Faith‑based programs, military‑style academies, and structured boarding schools can provide discipline, purpose, and a firm foundation. When our youth are war‑ready, educated, and grounded in values, we transform potential offenders into future leaders.
ENERGIZE THE ECONOMY
A thriving economy requires bold innovation and responsible stewardship. Welfare should serve as a temporary bridge—not a permanent lifestyle. By redirecting funds toward opportunity, entrepreneurship, and smart‑city development, Washington, D.C. can position itself as the capital of innovation for the world. Energizing our economy means empowering residents, modernizing infrastructure, and building a city where prosperity is accessible to all.
MANAGE MENTAL HEALTH
Mental health must be addressed with compassion, dignity, and urgency. “Help, not hurt” is more than a slogan—it is a commitment to making support personal, accessible, and stigma‑free. By strengthening community‑based services, early intervention, and holistic care, we ensure that every resident receives the understanding and resources they need to heal, grow, and thrive.
HARNESS HOMELESSNESS
Homelessness cannot be managed—it must be transformed. The path forward is homeownership, not temporary shelters or endless cycles of dependency. By creating pathways to stable housing, financial literacy, and long‑term support, we empower individuals to reclaim their independence and dignity. Harnessing homelessness means turning vulnerability into victory and ensuring every resident has a place to call home.
NATIONAL FIREARM SAFETY & CONCEALED CARRY COMPETENCY LEADERSHIP
Washington, D.C. has the opportunity to lead the nation in a way no other jurisdiction can. As Mayor, Dr. Myrtle P. Alexander will champion the establishment of the National Concealed Carry Curriculum & Certification Program (NCCC) — a federally recognized, competency‑based training standard headquartered right here in the District.
