Representation
 

"I don’t have a personal agenda, nor am I trying to build a political career. I’m not just trying to represent you - I am you.

In recent years, the focus of the City Commission has drifted away from serving residents and local businesses, towards overdevelopment and bureaucratic expansion. Most recently, push for a Tampa-style downtown plan, and yet another hike to the parking budget to compensate for mismanagement. Every neighbor I talk to, is tired of sending a polished message and an empty promise to City Hall. We will take our seats at City Hall together—because that is what home rule truly means.

We will focus on our City Charter again - vital services and neighborhoods. We'll prioritize real-world deficiencies we deal with every day:

• Sensible Traffic & Transit: Timing red lights; reversing parking fee cash-grabs that hurt residents and local businesses; fixing neglected neighborhood infrastructure (there's more to the city than Downtown and the Key).

• Accessible Government: Streamlining how businesses and residents interact with the city government and infrastructure, and especially your City Commission.

• Responsible Development: we'll favor development that improves residents' quality of life, services, and safety - not concrete mountains that overload our infrastructure without adding any housing.

• Civic and cultural texture: Public art, murals, green space, a place to gather larger than a two seat bench - when we assemble we are neighbors."
