These 10 pledges represent clear campaign promises to the community. While I am making these commitments as a candidate for Mayor, many of these actions can only be achieved with the support of the next Council.

Every Council candidate running in this election is invited to review this list of pledges and join me in supporting the commitments they agree with.

We do not need to agree on everything, but voters deserve to know where each candidate stands.

Prior to election day, I will circulate a Candidate Pledge Scorecard showing which Council candidates have supported each pledge, so residents can clearly see which parts of my platform each Council candidate does and does not support.

Council Candidates Are Invited to Participate

Candidates for Council are invited to publicly support any of these pledges. Supporting a pledge does not mean agreeing with every part of my platform. It means agreeing that voters deserve clear commitments and accountable local leadership.
