stacey westover: mayor

Creating a world we all want to live in.


Top priorities: Stop the housing crisis that's making this town unlivable for so many, causing problems community-wide, and pushing out people who built their lives here. Protect our remaining wild places, and lead the way to true sustainability, which comes from building a relationship to the land.


Specifics:

  • Relocalization of food production using the principles of permaculture, public food forests

  • Adding accessible, fee free, community space.

  • Increasing the number and quality of public bathrooms, garbage cans, sanitary stations.

  • Repeal payroll tax, stop burdening the working people with new fees, taxes.

  • Reining in the over development of luxury apartments, and disruptive gentrification

  • Getting unhoused people off the sidewalks by providing secure places to exist, while decriminalizing survival.

  • Increasing the amount of income based housing to catch people before they are pushed into homelessness.

  • Creating a fast response team for cleaning up garbage, hazardous waste, vandalism

  • Fighting against human trafficking, sexual exploitation, domestic abuse and other violent crimes.

  • Protecting pets with citywide spay/neuter, and fully funded animal services.
