Every one of these has a date, a document, or a meeting attached. If I get elected and none of it happens, you should hold that against me.
Put the repair schedule online so you can see when your street is next. Then report on it out loud, every quarter, whether it is good news or not.
We flood. Everybody here knows it and everybody here is tired of it. Fix the drainage before the next storm instead of after, and protect the aquifer, because that is where our water comes from.

I was a combat medic. You learn pretty fast that somebody has to be the person who shows up when it goes bad, and that it usually is not the person with the most to say about it.
I have knocked on hundreds of doors out here this year. People are polite about it, but the answer is the same on every street: the roads are bad, the drainage is worse, and nobody from the city has been out here in years.

Take a sign. Knock a few doors with me. Or just tell me what is wrong on your street. Honestly, that last one is the most useful thing anybody has done for this campaign.
