Economy As someone with a business background, I aim to collaborate with local businesses to ensure they feel valued in our city. Despite having the option to start their business elsewhere, they have chosen Andover to flourish and expand. Let's support them in their endeavors. Additionally, I will explore economic prospects to entice new businesses to our city. Taxes / Budget In government, leaders often forget that being fiscally responsible for taxpayers and the city is a primary responsibility of the council. The power should be returned to the people. If the majority of taxpayers want their money spent on certain items in a fiscally responsible manner, efforts should be made to make it happen.
