Creating new jobs
And putting people back to work

As mayor I want to unlock this potential by cutting red tape at city hall that prevents businesses, large and small, from working with city employees to maintain, repair, and upgrade city facilities. If we do it right and manage it correctly, public works projects can be a catalyst for a better life for many island residents.
