8th Ward Leadership

8th Ward: A Record of Action

Dr. Jaye Jones, a retired Naval Officer and lawyer, brings proven servant leadership to the 8th Ward. His commitment: 'No more decisions ABOUT us WITHOUT us.' Residents drive every decision.

Community Self-Determination

Founding the South Shore Park Neighbors Association

Dr. Jones led the creation of the SSPNA, a flow-up organization demanding civic attention for homeowners and renters. This initiative ensures neighbors are connected, preserving property values and fostering collective security.

The SSPNA provides a vital safety link, empowering residents to collectively address neighborhood concerns and maintain the integrity of their investments. It's about neighbors supporting neighbors.
