Issue with the biggest divide
Road safety investments
Manage downtown traffic concerns through thoughtful planning.
Invest in roads and infrastructure protecting drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists while supporting development that strengthens infrastructure rather than overwhelming it.
City budget savings
Keep taxes low while maintaining services, diversify the tax base through commercial revenue, and prepare for possible property-tax reductions.
Fund city services through partnerships and grants, keep municipal budgets and fees tight, and maintain opposition to unnecessary tax increases.
Police and fire funding
Back first responders and promote safe neighborhoods for residents and businesses.
Fully fund police and fire departments while adapting municipal services to emerging public-safety needs.
City government access
Promote transparent, accessible, accountable local government and support resident participation in city government.
Represent city before outside government bodies, oppose state policies that weaken municipal authority, and modernize city operations for tax-dollar returns.
