Economic Growth
Fiscal Management and Transparency
We need a safe, clean, well-maintained city to attract new families and businesses and create an atmosphere that results in employment opportunities for our citizens. Working together with our citizens and city leadership, our projects and vision must be prioritized and monetized with transparency for all constituents.
Infrastructure
We need to take care of what we already have while creating a vision for the future to support growth. Our streets, parks, neighborhoods, and water are the foundations of our community, and we must focus on these as we look to the future.
Public Safety
No matter where you live, our first responders are essential services. Our police, fire, emergency medical services, and animal control need to be fully supported to ensure our safety and attract the best candidates to our training academies. This has a direct relationship with economic growth and the health of the city.
