My Top Issues
Economy
I am dedicated to controlling spending and lowering our tax rate for families. Burdensome real estate taxes should never force current residents to move out of the City. Our City needs to do a long range Economic Strategic Plan. We have a Comprehensive Plan for land use, but an Economic Strategic Plan will protect our long-term economic health.
Environment / Energy
Because the City is permanently prohibited from expanding its 10-square-mile boundaries into Spotsylvania or Stafford Counties, the future development of all vacant land within the City should be intentional, self-sufficient, and bring the broadest possible benefits for all residents. The City should commit to protect and improve air and water quality and ensure “no net loss” of our natural resources of tree canopy, wildlife habitat, and the Rappahannock River watershed.
Government Reform
The City Council should ensure that there are more opportunities for public awareness of all proposed projects and seek broader participation in the deliberations of City boards and commissions. More town halls and other opportunities for the public to ask questions and get answers and be engaged in the process will benefit all of us. An informed public is an engaged public. We need to foster collaboration among elected officials, community leaders and other stakeholders to drive solutions for the growing community.
Housing
It is crucial that the market includes options that meet the various needs of our diverse community and produce housing choices for people of all income levels. Tax abatements, guaranteed loan programs, and tax credits are some of the ways to help teachers, nurses, and essential workers gain home ownership and enable them to build wealth. There are state and federal programs that are available to help with this process. Having a dedicated city program to help guide people to these resources would be a good first step.
Infrastructure / Transportation
Our goal should be shared prosperity and a vibrant community through deliberate growth that puts people at the center of our community. The measure of success of a city is not population growth, but the average income of the people. Plan our growth so that infrastructure needs do not overwhelm our budget. Our growth should not be at the expense of the current residents’ quality of life.
