Public Safety and water front development are the top priorities.
Public safety and waterfront development are crucial for our community's well-being and economic growth. I'm focusing on these priorities because:
1. Public safety ensures citizens' security and trust in our community.
2. Waterfront development can boost local businesses, create jobs, and enhance our city's aesthetic appeal.
By addressing these key areas, we can build a safer, more prosperous, and attractive community for everyone.
As a responsible leader, I'll guide finance and budgeting decisions by prioritizing:
1. Transparency: Ensuring clear and open budgeting processes.
2. Community input: Listening to residents' needs and concerns.
3. Fiscal responsibility: Making smart, sustainable financial decisions.
4. Strategic allocation: Focusing on projects that benefit the community, such as public safety and waterfront development.
5. Long-term thinking: Considering the impact of decisions on future generations.
By balancing competing priorities and making informed decisions, I'll ensure our community's resources are used effectively and efficiently.
As a dedicated leader, I'd like to see the following changes in how the city is run:
1. Increased transparency in city decision-making processes
2. More community engagement and participation in policy-making
3. Efficient allocation of resources to prioritize public safety, infrastructure, and community development
4. Enhanced accountability and oversight to ensure responsible governance
5. Collaborative approach to problem-solving, fostering partnerships between city officials, businesses, and residents
By implementing these changes, I believe our city can become more responsive, effective, and equitable for all residents.
To support a vibrant economy in our city, I plan to:
1. Foster business growth by streamlining regulations and providing resources for entrepreneurs.
2. Invest in infrastructure to enhance connectivity and accessibility.
3. Promote workforce development and job training programs.
4. Support local initiatives and events that showcase our city's unique character.
5. Attract investments that create jobs and stimulate economic growth.
By taking these steps, I aim to create a thriving economy that benefits our residents, businesses, and community.
To address diversity, equity, and inclusion in our city, I propose:
1. Implementing inclusive hiring practices and diversity training for city staff.
2. Developing policies to promote equity in housing, education, and economic opportunities.
3. Creating community outreach and engagement programs to foster inclusivity.
4. Establishing a diversity, equity, and inclusion office or task force.
5. Conducting regular assessments to identify and address disparities.
By taking these steps, we can build a more inclusive and equitable community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

When making financial decisions, I'll be guided by three core principles: transparency, accountability, and long-term budget sustainability. We need to ensure every dollar is spent wisely and in the best interest of our residents. I'll prioritize investments that provide the greatest return for our community, focusing on essential services and long-term economic growth while also considering the potential impact on future budgets

Weighing our financial health will be a crucial measurement to guide my decisions. Efficient resource allocation, stakeholder engagement, and data-driven metrics which balance immediate community priorities will be a central cornerstone in guiding decisions.
I will consider how investments will improve residents lives, and aim to balance fiscal responsibility with the competing needs of the community.
I would advocate for increased transparency and citizen participation in governance processes. Implementing technology to streamline communication and decision-making could significantly enhance efficiency.
I'd like to see more town hall meetings, online forums, and opportunities for residents to provide input on important decisions
Enhanced online access to city documents and data

Finally, I'll champion initiatives to attract tourism and promote our city as a great place to live, work, and visit." Promoting tourism and cultural events to attract visitors will boost our local economy.
We need to make certain Mukilteo is positioned well in the future to be prepared for growth and support of businesses and residents.

I am committed to promoting policies that all residents have access to opportunities, including hiring practices and community outreach programs to publicize all opportunities to attract the best candidate pool for maximum effectiveness.
Additionally, establishing advisory committees can ensure community voices are heard.
