Our Platform

St. Louis is considered a tech hub, yet our government processes are outdated and make doing business with the city inconvenient and inefficient. As Treasurer, I got hands-on experience reforming a city department, managing a budget of millions of dollars, increasing credit ratings, and overseeing hundreds of people.

City government is often overwhelmed by pressing public safety issues and day-to-day operations, and we have not prioritized modernizing our government processes and procedures. We need city government to make it easier, not harder, for people to do what they need to do. Investing resources in modernizing government will ultimately save us time, money, and make St. Louis more competitive. As mayor, I’ve worked to implement technology to help citizens effectively work with their government through streamlined processes that also save the city money, including:

➪ City Government Process Modernization

➪ City Web Services Redesign

➪ Transparency and Accessibility to Government

➪ Charter Reform

➪ implementing The City’s 2013 Sustainability Plan

➪ Equitable Taxation and Revenue Generation

Our Record

➪ Appointed a Cabinet of subject-matter experts who represent the people we serve, including many first time appointments of people of color and women as directors of City departments and agencies

➪ Started digitizing personnel data, accounting, and payroll to make our hiring processes more efficient.

➪ Introduced improved benefits packages and wage increases for city jobs to combat the nationwide labor shortage and bring city services like the Refuse Department to full workforce capacity.
