Administrative Priorities

It is an honor to serve the citizens of Spokane, and I am grateful for the opportunity to lead our incredible community. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but Spokane has never shied away from a challenge.

The strength of our community will depend on the willingness to collaborate, remain transparent, and stay accountable to the priorities of our community. It will truly be a team effort if we want to see long-term solutions. We are all connected as citizens of Spokane, and when we work together, we will make our City stronger.

4 Key Initiatives

My Administration will focus on four main priorities:

• Homelessness - Move toward finding balance between the needs of all of our citizens – those who work, shop, or recreate in the City; those who own property or own businesses; and those experiencing homelessness
• Housing - Increase availability of housing of all types to community residents, regardless of income level, in an environment that is safe, clean, and healthy
• Economic Development - Ensure businesses, both new and existing, feel connected and valued in our community to continue economic growth
• Public Safety - Provide all our public safety responders with tools to do their jobs effectively to ensure all citizens feel safe and comfortable

These four issues all inter-relate to one another. You cannot look at homelessness without addressing housing. And you cannot improve housing without a strong economy. And a stronger economy requires supporting and increasing our public safety response. But together, we will get it done.
