Environment / Energy I will push our city to reduce its gas and fuel usage by adopting new renewable energy system markets, supporting the permitting requirements to connect solar and wind to the grid, and investing in electric city vehicles. Social Services There is tremendous potential for a city-wide volunteer brigade, with opportunities for all ages. Economy We need to attract diverse businesses in new and growing sectors, including technology, renewable energy, earth-friendly construction practices, and local food. This growth will require that we balance the work needed to update our infrastructure and build new housing, while protecting the green spaces that make our city special.
