Seniors & Veterans First
These residents have given so much to our community, and deserve to be respected and honored:
· Support the relocation and enhancement of the Veteran’s/Mother’s memorial to Aaron Webster Cemetery.
· Support the senior meal, activity, and transportation programs.
· Support the development of affordable housing.
Family-Friendly
I've had the honor of raising a family in Auburn Hills and I want others to have the same opportunities:
- Support sidewalks & pathways, and social activities and events that foster a welcoming community spirit.
- Support Avondale and Pontiac schools including public-private partnerships with community businesses and non-profits
Smart Growth
With only 16 square miles of geography, it’s important that we develop and re-develop in a smart and balanced way.
- Support re-development of unused buildings into good/useable spaces and local jobs for residents.
- Develop and maintain ample parking for downtown business and activities, promote partnerships to share parking lots/spaces
- Work with SMART to improve services to residents and businesses; On-demand, micro-transit, accessible vans when more efficient than large buses.
- Complete the River Walk along the Clinton River between Riverside Park and River Woods Park

Our community is unique. We are relatively small with 25,000+ residents, yet we are home to more than 40 international corporations all with diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds
