The Mission

---

Affordable housing allows residents to live closer to places of employment; reduces commute times, provides stability, accommodates the disabled, seniors, and lower income.

Roads, bridges, parks and transportation systems are the backbone of any society. Our infrastructure tops the list of economic development. 

Homelessness affects not only individuals, but our community as a whole. Everyone deserves safe and stable housing, not to mention self-dignity. Homelessness strips people of their dignity, safety and hope for the future.

Businesses suffered revenue loss of more than $300 million in revenue in 2020. Since then, we have watched multiple businesses shutter. Business loss has a direct link to our economic stability and growth.

While our city's motto is “Government’s first duty and highest obligation is public safety," I contend it is an ongoing effort that is fundamental to our city's success and quality of life.
