Joshua Boschee

Housing Housing affordability and homelessness affect public safety, workforce stability, and family well-being. Ignoring housing and homelessness doesn’t save money, it pushes costs into emergency response, policing, and strained neighborhoods. Boschee supports a comprehensive, fiscally responsible approach that connects housing, services, and smart policy to reduce crisis response and improve long-term outcomes. Economy Fargo is at a crossroads. Rising costs, unresolved homelessness, and concerns about quality of life require leadership that’s honest about what isn’t working and accountable for fixing it. Too many residents feel like City Hall has been managing problems instead of solving them and they’re ready for a new direction. Boschee offers a fresh direction for City Hall focused on outcomes that improve everyday life across Fargo. Taxes / Budget Residents deserve confidence that their tax dollars are being used wisely. Fiscal responsibility isn’t about saying no, it’s about prioritizing what actually improves quality of life and reduces long-term costs. It also means coordinating, not duplicating, efforts that improve long-term outcomes. Boschee brings a pragmatic, fiscally responsible approach to prioritizing city budgets, responsibly managing property taxes, and ensuring essential services are delivered efficiently and fairly across Fargo. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Public safety is foundational to quality of life. People deserve to feel safe in their homes, their neighborhoods, and downtown and to know their concerns are being taken seriously. Fargo has made progress lowering crime, and Boschee believes in building on what works by supporting law enforcement, investing in prevention, and increasing transparency and neighborhood engagement so residents feel safe where they live.
