Top Priorities if Elected |
- Make our city energy, water and food self-sufficient because any disruption in our supply of these essentials will make our other problem worse.
- Stop selling the public's land. When we sell public lands we get a one time payment. When we lease it out, it generates public income forever.
- Affordable housing, fix roads, sewers, storm drains, clean up trash, reduce crime, and make our city run more efficiently and cost effectively.

Foundational issues are things that have the power to greatly increase or decrease our chances for success and fulfillment, personally and regionally, now and for future generations.
