As a lifelong resident of Gilbert and someone who has raised my six children here, I am committed to making this town the best place to live, work, and raise a family. I believe that I can bring the leadership and direction that the town needs to revitalize it in the midst of nationwide concerns and distress. I want to share with you what I would actionably do as the mayor of Gilbert.
Pro-Family
My wife and I have a deep commitment to creating a family-friendly environment in Gilbert. I will work with the town council and residents to make sure that Gilbert remains one of the best places in the country to raise a family. This means creating programs and initiatives that support families and provide opportunities for children to thrive.
Pro-Law Enforcement
As someone with law enforcement experience, I understand the importance of a safe community. Rising crime in Gilbert is a concern for all of us, and I will work with the town manager and police chief to attract the best and brightest officers to keep our streets safe. I will support our law enforcement officers and ensure that they have the training and equipment they need to do their jobs effectively.
Pro-Education
Arizona’s educational system is in dire need of improvement, and I will be a powerful voice for change. Working with the town council and school board, I will make it a priority to establish a first-rate education program that benefits all students in Gilbert. I believe that a strong education system is key to the long-term prosperity of our town.
Pro-Freedom
As a mayor, I will be a champion of freedom and individual rights. This means protecting the right to free speech, religion, assembly, self-defense, and other fundamental freedoms. I will work to ensure that the government stays in its lane and only performs appropriate government functions, such as building roads, responsible zoning, and public safety.
Pro-Self Defense
I strongly support the Second Amendment and will work to preserve the rights of residents who wish to defend themselves and their families. I believe that every law-abiding citizen should have the right to protect themselves and their loved ones.
Pro-Gilbert Resident
As the mayor, I will be an aggressive defender of the rights and property of Gilbert residents. I will listen to your concerns and work to ensure that your hard-earned resources and livelihoods are protected. I believe that government should serve the people, not the other way around.
Streamlined Government
I believe in a limited government that stays in its lane and performs only appropriate government functions. I will work to make sure that government is not bloated, overreaching, or overbroad. I will support private sector solutions to problems whenever possible and only turn to government as a last resort.
Economic Development
I am concerned about the increasing number of apartment complexes and heavy industrial businesses coming into Gilbert. I believe that we need a mayor who will work with the town council, residents, and developers to make sensible decisions about growth and development. I will ensure that private property rights are protected and that the town evolves in a way that does not harm long-term growth, safety, and prosperity.
Anti-Commuter Rail System
A mass transit system such as a commuter rail is not appropriate for Gilbert. I believe that if there is going to be a mass transit system, it should be brought about and proposed by a private entity who carries the risk and who cares deeply about the bottom line. I will not support a mass transit system that is funded by taxpayer dollars and does not make financial sense for our town. I will instead focus on improving our existing transportation infrastructure and exploring alternative transportation options that better fit the needs of Gilbert residents.
In conclusion, I want to be the mayor who represents all residents of Gilbert, and I believe that my plans and proposals will help make Gilbert the best place to live, work, and raise a family. I will work tirelessly to make sure that the town remains a safe and prosperous place for all its residents.
