What's Needed to Make Pima County Thrive
Roads, jobs, transparency, efficiency.
That’s what I will champion when elected to the Pima County Board of Supervisors.
Citizens and businesses need better roads, not only to get around, but also to build a more viable and expanding economy. It’s much harder to attract businesses when they can’t get their products, services and employees in and out. Roads are our modern rivers of commerce, and Pima County has done a poor job maintaining them. I will allocate general fund dollars for road improvement and maintenance – just like cities in the region do – to make that happen. I will pay for that with more efficiency and with better use of existing bonds, which should go for long-term infrastructure rather than to make today’s life easier for bureaucrats.
My economic development vision is to continue expanding the region’s high-tech and bioscience industries, just as I did as a legislator when I successfully ran a bill removing barriers to their expansion and to their cooperation with the university. I also think local leaders can help recruit early innovators in those fields from Southern California by personal attention. Improving education also is a must.
I connect to Pima County, having knocked on more than 14,000 doors in the area so far, and I give out is personal cell phone number – 520-390-9946. I’ve been very available, transparent and accountable to my voters and to the needs of Pima County. I also believe that county supervisors should communicate directly with constituents, rather than speak through the county administrator, as is now the case.
When I was in the Legislature, I spent days with individual departments so he could see first-hand their needs, issues and processes. I’ll do the same in Pima County to find efficiencies and make sure the county’s resources are well spent.
