If re-elected, she has plans to build a parking lot for the Blanche Ely Museum, create the Braggs/Cristwell Police Substation, beautify NW 6th Ave, build a mini park on NW 6th Street, and a new Youth Development Center at Mitchell Moore Park.

Professionally, Perkins was the former director of outreach services for the later Congressman Alcee Hasting’s Office.
