Economic Growth
As the son of a small business owner, I recognize and respect the level of dedication and sacrifice that comes with owning and operating a small business. Small businesses are the economic engine of our community, and the best thing government can do is get out of the way.
At all levels of government, but particularly at the municipal level, we should work to encourage the growth of small and medium sized businesses and make sure nothing we are doing stands as an impediment to that growth.
We can encourage growth by eliminating red-tape and making sure city offices like those responsible for inspections and permitting aren’t just adequately staffed, but fully staffed and working to get businesses up and running.
Infrastructure
We must continue to invest in our roads and bridges throughout the city. While downtown development is important, everyday people get up and drive to work on streets plagued by potholes.
But we can’t stop with roads and bridges. Our water, sewer, and garbage infrastructure must continue to be a focus of investment. Our plans must look to the future of Waco, where we’ll be in 30 or 50 years.
The essence of city government is to make sure clean water comes out of the tap, your garbage is picked up on time, and your streets are safe and in good condition.
Criminal Justice
I’m passionate about criminal justice, and particularly doing what it takes to make sure people feel safe in their homes and communities.
I’ll work with the Waco Police Department to make sure that we are able to recruit and retain the best police officers in the country. But it isn’t just about personnel, we must strive to give our officers all the tools they need to fight crime.
I’m particularly interested in focusing on property crime, especially property crime involving businesses. We must make sure that businesses in our community are not beset with crime; whether its theft, vandalism, or criminal mischief, business owners should know the City of Waco will have their back and do everything we can to make sure perpetrators are prosecuted
