ROXANNE STEPHENS

Statement:

• Our current city leaders continue to ignore the public’s call for slowing the growth and repairing roads.  Instead, they’ve made it easier for developers to build thousands of additional houses, adding more and more cars to our roads. Families are driving on crumbling roads and spending endless hours sitting traffic. I have experienced firsthand how the poor decisions around growth have negatively impacted all of our lives. We deserve better! 
• I will keep our city focused on what’s most important: slowing the growth and improving roads.  I will use my 30 years of experience working with families and communities to solve problems. As mayor, I will take the time to listen, be accessible, be open and honest, and work with our community to create a better quality of life for all of us. 
• The most important issues affecting our city is out of control growth, failing roads, and lack of economic opportunity.  My priority will be shifting our focus away from building more houses and towards improving our roads and economic growth. I will focus on creating an economic development plan that brings much needed business and jobs, by promoting retail, commercial, and industrial opportunities.
