I love Tucson and I am committed more now than ever before to helping us reach our greatest potential. For the past three years I have been working full time to create jobs, revitalize our Downtown, green our land use and building codes, protect our children, improve the business climate, and so much more. I ask for your support so I can continue to play a role in helping shape Tucson’s present – and future. There is much more work to be done! ….
We need strong leadership in these challenging economic times. As a community, we are facing many difficult decisions that have to be made with an eye to the future. Public safety must remain our top priority. And we must continue to provide other essential City services, such as Water, Parks, Transportation and Environmental Services. But there are so many choices to be made as we struggle in these challenging economic times. How do we balance the budget without harming those most needy and fragile among us? How do we crisis services without doing permanent damage to other amazing nonprofits that provide important programs that improve our quality of life?
The decisions we make today will have consequences for future generations. In 2005, I told you Tucson was at a crossroads – between the tired and failed policies of the past and a new direction. Together we are embracing those new directions and can look forward to a brighter future for Tucson, but I need your support so we can continue along this path.
I have a vision for Tucson as a green city, leading the nation in green building, preserving our desert environment and our core neighborhoods, with a modern transportation system emphasizing transit, pedestrians, and bicycles; as a vibrant city, with well paid jobs and a reenergized downtown; as a caring city, that embraces its diversity and protects the most vulnerable among us. But I can’t do it alone.
I ask you to join me in preserving and celebrating the wonderful spirit and strength of this great city that we call home. Please JOIN my campaign. Please VOLUNTEER in the community. Please CONTACT ME with your ideas on how – together – we can continue to make Tucson an even better place for us all.
