Economy By streamlining processes and eliminating unnecessary red tape, Arlington can foster innovation, attract new investment, and strengthen our local economy. Infrastructure / Transportation With over 17 million annual visitors to our entertainment district and a growing population, Arlington must plan ahead to ease congestion and improve mobility. Jason supports energy-efficient, forward-thinking, cost-effective transportation solutions that make it easier and safer to get around — connecting residents, businesses, and visitors across Arlington and the metroplex. Taxes / Budget Jason believes every tax dollar should be spent wisely. By identifying inefficiencies and improving transparency in city operations, Arlington can deliver high-quality services with transparency while keeping taxes low. Smart financial management today ensures a stronger, more sustainable city tomorrow. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Jason recognizes that public safety means caring for both our community and those who serve it. He’s committed to ensuring our police, firefighters, and first responders have the resources they need, while also promoting policies that keep Arlington’s families healthy, safe, and thriving. Education With more than 100,000 students attending our public, private, and higher education institutions each day, collaboration between schools and local businesses is vital. Jason will champion partnerships that prepare students for future careers and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all Arlington residents.
