What are the top two to three issues in West Melbourne, and what specific actions will you take to address them if elected?

1. Infrastructure needs: Invest in, maintain and improve our infrastructure, while being mindful of residential, economic and environmental impact. These kinds of investments drive responsible growth, reduce traffic and support efficient response times for law enforcement and emergency services.

2. Fiscal responsibility: Ensure the city’s strong finances by providing budgetary oversight and being fiscally conservative with taxpayer funds, especially with the recent rising costs.

3. Outreach and communication: Create channels of communication with residents and local businesses to understand and address concerns, engage residents in civic opportunities, and work together to proactively plan for our city’s future.
