Portrait of Tyesha Gordon

Meet Tyesha

A community-first voice for the neighborhoods too often left out of the conversation.

Tyesha Gordon is running for Covington City Council to focus on the everyday systems that decide whether families can build a stable life here: housing, transportation, youth spaces, fair taxes, and development that includes the whole city.

Her writing on House Bill 5 argued against dehumanizing people in crisis and for policy that sees the full person. That same conviction guides this campaign: listen first, tell the truth, and do the work for the community.

Priorities

Connected. Affordable. Community first.

Community infrastructure

Family-focused development, a stronger community center, teen youth spaces, and more opportunities for intergenerational engagement.

Transportation & accessibility

If we want Covington to thrive, we have to connect it. Latonia and South Covington deserve reliable transit, walkable access, and a real voice in new development.

Fair tax structure

A fair tax structure should protect working families and scale with income, so city growth does not leave everyday people carrying the heaviest load.

Income-aligned housing

Workforce housing for hospitality workers, public service workers, and families who keep Covington running should be part of the city plan.

If we want our city to thrive, we have to connect it.

Latonia and South Covington are often left out of the conversation. Accessibility and reliable public transportation are vital for our city and for new development.
