Christian's training in community and economic development and urban planning helps her understand that Wilmington and the 5th District will face big changes over the next four years.

 

Christian believes that new challenges need new policy solutions. She has been part of successful resident-led advocacy efforts that have helped Wilmington create new programs like homeowner repair, water bill assistance, and down-payment and settlement assistance. As your Council Member, Christian will work hard to bring more policies that have shown results in other places to Wilmington.​​
