My
Plan for Renton
Renton is bursting with opportunity, and it needs a leader who can grasp it. I am that leader. I know how to make a dream a reality. I started 36 years ago when I moved here. Since then I’ve raised a family, ran a successful business, volunteered in the community, and served on City Council. That combined experience has given me the leadership skills to run Renton.
I have a plan for Renton.
As Mayor I will focus on:
-
Citizen Service
-
Public Safety
-
Economic Development
|
Citizen service is essential to any leadership. Constituents should feel comfortable voicing their concerns, and it is important they have a Mayor who will listen. My idea is
RentonConnect, a citizen involvement program.
RentonConnect is designed to:
-
Open the Mayor’s office to our citizens
-
Open up a dialogue within the community
-
Continue to build our strong neighborhood programs
Public safety is very important to me, but to address this issue we must first concentrate on our economic development.
|
|
Economic Development
+ Tax Revenue
Amenities
|
= |
Strong Police, Fire, Parks, Trails,
Sidewalks, Pool, Community Center, Senior Center, Quality of Life |
 |
|
Economic development brings in the tax revenue needed to fund community amenities. These amenities attract new families, homes and businesses, all of which add to our strong community pride.
I am the only candidate with the experience to achieve these goals.
I currently,
-
Chair the Finance Committee
-
Co-Founded Renton’s Blue Ribbon Committee
-
Belong to the Chamber of Commerce
But I am also a member of,
I understand the balance between business and neighborhood issues. That balance is the yin and yang of a vital community.
For 25 years I have worked 10 hours a day seven days a week (not including my civic duties)! When elected I will transfer that same commitment and work ethic to my city responsibilities.
This November 4, I ask that you Connect with Bold Leadership by supporting me as Mayor of Renton. Let’s keep our community pride.
