The people of Rochester demand transparency from their leaders. They want proof, not promises from city hall. They want to know their tax dollars are being spent as stated and in ways that benefit them. They want to know when they’re asked to vote on something at the polls the city will deliver on that.
And when the city is sharing information with the people of Rochester, they deserve to have it shared in a way that is accessible, organized, and readable. No overwhelming data dumps or searching through webpages to find the answers you seek.
Overall, the people who live in Rochester deserve a city council and mayor that make decisions as if they serve the people. If we want our citizens to feel like they belong, we have to stop showing them the door. People should feel welcome, whether they’re visiting, just moved in, or have lived here for generations.
So, when the people of our great city as me who I’ll serve when I’m in office, for me, there is only one answer: the people of Rochester.
While tackling this agenda is ambitious, it is something the people deserve. In order to achieve that, I am committed to being your full-time mayor. While in office, my time will be spent on working with people of Rochester to build a more affordable, reliable, transparent, and resilient future.
