This was a first for the town and this provided a platform for councilmembers to discuss relevant issues, provide ideas, debate solutions, and prioritize staff and budget resources. I pushed and obtained majority support of the council to standardized quarterly reviews dedicated to strategic initiatives. What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job? Promote and budget for: pickleball courts, pedestrian and bike friendly roads.Continue to promote more ranges of price and age-appropriate housing.Continue to promote more ADA compliant areas and traffic calming solutions.Continue increasing green spaces and use of green technologies.Continue to promote responsible development.Continue to promote more Outdoor Dining areas.Continue modernization of ordinances making it easier for businesses to operate.Continue to welcome & listen to all views.Councils should be more agile and provide residents solutions, so I will continue to work with those that will challenge the status quo.ĭescribe the other issues that define your campaign platform. Over the years previous councils allowed old operational process and old ways of thinking to limit council responses or new initiatives. If you are a challenger, in what way has the current board or officeholder failed the community (or district or constituency)? I will align myself with those that bring ideas, listen to new ways, and support a more agile and responsive council. Two council members offered zero solutions while others offered suggestions and ideas to calm traffic and make the street safer. Example, we had a safety issue with traffic on Spring Street. I will continue to push for a forum supporting innovative ideas and new ways to implement solutions. Two current councilmembers have not recommended a single strategic initiative and have not championed any solutions. Several candidates support the institutional status quo. What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post? There are many more issues, but I will continue to support quarterly meetings for strategic initiatives as a way to address issues and implement changes quicker than the current institutional process. We need to align all ordinances impacting business and ensure they support success of all businesses. Tinting storefronts keep energy costs down and creates a more modern vibrant look to businesses and the town. I will ask the council review why modern technologies like tinting/transforming store font glass is not acceptable. We are harming residents on a budget and forcing them to move. I will ask the council review why we still impose homeowners must repair their roof tops a specific way, when a normal asphalt roof will do.
Outdated institutional barriers like old zoning ordinances and strict commercial operation regulations impact our revenue stream. The single most pressing issue facing the Town of Herndon is _, and this is what I intend to do about it.
