Candidate Muir Boda Sends Final Message Before Primary

The key issues in this campaign are crime, economic development and fiscal integrity. However, nothing can be accomplished on any of these issues unless we return civility and respect in our discourse among the differing opinions of individuals. All three of our main issues are intertwined and we must be successful for the future of our city.

We need to take a three pronged approach to addressing the root causes of crime, which must be approached as a regional problem. This requires us to focus long term on Education, Economic Opportunity and Engaging our Faith Based Community. Each part is critical to our success.

Short term requires us to develop strong, multi-jurisdictional partnerships on targeting gangs, organized crime and our most violent offenders. After all, criminals know no boundaries and neither should our approach in dealing with them.
