My name is Tyra Thomas-Walker, and I am running for Louisville Metro City Council in District 24. As a long time Special Education Teacher and public servant, I know that we need better policy to improve the lives for all Kentuckians, and those in District 24. As your Metro City Council Member, I will draft policies that will reduce crime in our neighborhoods, and those related to the proliferation of fentanyl on our streets. Part of reducing violent crime is by providing resources for public education. When our students, teachers, and school staff are well-resourced, not only will crime plummet, but our young people will thrive and we will bring in additional well qualified teachers.
I will continue the work that has been started with smart zoning and infrastructure to ensure that district 24 remains
a flourishing community while creating strong infrastructure that focuses on the needs of the Hillview, Highview, and FernCreek. Let’s build
a healthier and safer Hillview, Highview, and Fern Creek together.
Tyra Thomas-Walker, a proud product of Moore High School, Louisville's public school education, and longtime resident of Hillview/Okolona who cherishes her experience and wouldn't alter a thing.
With six children as JCPS graduates, three who are enrolled and attend a college/university, and others thriving
as working citizens, she emphasizes the value of education provided by Jefferson County Public Schools. Tyra actively endorses public education,
recognizing its adaptability to the evolving public school landscape, especially amidst the challenges of the 2020-2021 pandemic. She applauds JCPS for addressing trauma, implementing the Racial Equity Policy, and striving to create an inclusive curriculum that fosters a sense of belonging for every child.
Tyra Thomas-Walker is deeply invested in addressing the healthcare crisis,
with a particular focus on mental health issues. To effectively tackle homelessness and drug addiction, it is crucial to prioritize and advocate for
comprehensive healthcare services.
By ensuring that individuals with mental health challenges receive the support they need, we can also provide crucial assistance for those struggling with addiction. Championing effective healthcare is the first step towards meaningful progress in these interconnected issues.
As your Metro City Council Member, crime reduction and public safety is a priority for Tyra Thomas-Walker. She will draft policies that will reduce crime in our neighborhoods, and those related to the proliferation of fentanyl on our streets. Part of reducing violent crime is by providing community resources for our youth and job opportunities for our young adults.
