A Plan for Independence

Independence has too many empty buildings and stalled developments. Instead of chasing new projects that sit vacant, we should focus on how to revitalize neighborhoods and invest in the business districts we already have. A stronger economy comes from supporting local businesses, attracting new employers, and ensuring that families earn fair wages so they can live, shop, and dine right here at home in safe neighborhoods. With trustworthy leadership, we can revitalize our community instead of abandoning it, creating good jobs and fair wages for everyone.

Every resident deserves safe neighborhoods that foster connection and community. This means revitalizing neighborhoods with clean and well-maintained streets, improved street lighting, and a transportation system that enables people to reach their destinations easily. It also involves supporting our dedicated police, fire, and dispatchers with competitive pay and benefits, ensuring that Independence is a place where trustworthy leadership thrives and where they are proud to serve.
