What Kathryn Will Focus On
Top Priorities
Public Safety
Measure N was sold as $58M for police and fire. It now brings in over $110M a year while we lose officers and stretch our fire department thin. That money belongs to the people who answer the call.
Homelessness & Drug Use
Families should be able to walk their own neighborhood. We need accountability from the programs we fund and real outcomes, not another round of spending with nothing to show for it.
Cost of Living
City policy should make it cheaper to live and work here, not more expensive. That means restraint on government fees, and policies that let small businesses grow and hire.
Roads & Infrastructure
The sewer, the streets, the basics. Core infrastructure comes before the next shiny project, and residents deserve to know what is being fixed and when.
Fiscal Responsibility
A city should balance its budget the way a family or a business does. Cut waste, finish the audits, and make every dollar answer for itself.
