A Message from Jaevon

I am committed to restoring the financial stability of Mount Vernon. I will work tirelessly with fellow elected officials and the community to regain our AAA bond rating. A strong credit rating will save taxpayer dollars and allow the city to improve its infrastructure through capital projects.


My goal is to create an environment that fosters economic growth and development. I will explore all possible avenues to help move the city forward, by exploring new revenue sources, securing grants for the city and pursuing cost-saving measures. I will continue to support our local businesses and let it be known that Mount Vernon is a welcoming, business-friendly City.

Together, we will collaborate with community leaders and stakeholders to create a brighter future for our Mount Vernon.
