Poverty is the biggest issue facing district 8. In most cases, poverty is directly coupled with crime and drug abuse because when people are struggling to feed their families, mental health issues arise, and desperation can cultivate criminal activity. Focusing on investing in economic development would be the first step to working with community members to find sustainable solutions. Solutions such as investing in infrastructure, transportation modes, small business growth initiatives, business recruitment initiatives, and broad-based education such as trade schools and skills programs will uplift the families that reside in this regional community.
