1) Let’s keep our city green, clean and safe. I would like Temple Terrace to show its best side to the world by beautifying the streets, parks, businesses and neighborhoods.

2) Your quality of life in Temple Terrace is the most important goal. You chose Temple Terrace because it’s special; I’ll do what I can so that Temple Terrace can keep its unique charm. That means preserving our established neighborhoods and making sure that new housing is attractive and of high quality.

3) Our police officers and firefighters keep us safe. They need our support to be at their best. That means good quality facilities and competitive pay.

4) The cost of housing is high. I won’t let government make it worse. I will not support new residential property taxes. I’ll make sure our fire department keeps its Class I rating, which will help keep home insurance rates lower.

5) We can balance the budget and pay down our city debt. That means not spending on vanity projects like high-speed trains. And it means being disciplined with every dollar.

6) Code Enforcement is important when it upholds our community standards, but the rules must apply equally and fairly to everybody. We should simplify our code (e.g., don’t require a permit to replace more than three fence slats!), but keep the rules that make our city more livable.

7) I’ll keep up the pressure on the Fountain Shoppes (Downtown TT) developer until the fountain is clean, the trash is swept up and the landscaping is as promised. I’d also like to turn Downtown’s vacant space into an open air cultural venue to showcase daytime live music.
