Transparency in government is essential—it fosters civic engagement, builds trust, and ensures accountability. Citizens have the right to know how and why decisions are made and to have a voice in the process. I have a strong track record as a legislator of open, honest communication and transparency.
As mayor, I will prioritize making the website more user friendly and creating a transparency portal. A transparency portal is a simple, easy-to-use online tool where residents can easily find city budgets, contracts, meeting minutes, and records of official decisions—all in one place. No more hunting through complicated websites or waiting for public records requests.
Many cities have implemented these portals with great success. They improve trust between city leaders and residents, save money by reducing legal challenges, and help everyone stay informed.
As Mayor, I will work tirelessly to make the political process more open and accessible. I will always be honest, available, and accountable to you. In government, there should be no surprises—only integrity and a commitment to serving the people.
