My Top Issues
Government Reform
Pete believes the town should provide the public with explanations for decisions made in a clear, accessible format. He supports publishing easy-to-read summaries of council meetings, making town data more available, and providing multiple ways for people to give feedback.
Economy
Small business incubation efforts in the town should be complemented with long-term business support.
Arts / Culture
Pete believes in creating spaces, events, and policies that encourage positive interactions within our community. He supports the creation of more town events during the academic year that would allow students and year-round residents to truly see each other as neighbors.
Housing
Pete supports establishing unbiased benchmarks to better articulate and define the multifaceted housing and infrastructure issues faced by the town. Housing isn’t just one problem, and it doesn’t have just one solution.
Economy
Pete believes that local businesses are the backbone of our community’s character and should be treated as partners in the town’s future. The Blacksburg Business Relations Committee should be reincorporated to demonstrate the town’s commitment to this vital part of our community.
