2017

Ricciardelli's campaign website included the following themes:

“	Preserve Plano’s Character through Smarter Land Use With our remaining land, Plano must focus on land uses that are consistent with the character of the community that we all know and love, not on high-density development projects. I will advocate for a suburban Plano, while continuing to recruit desirable employers to our city. Decrease Tax Burden on Plano Families As home values rise, so do property taxes – that is, unless we decrease the tax rate enough to offset the increase in property valuations. If elected, I will fight tax increases by advocating for the largest possible tax rate decreases. Strong Business Climate As a Councilmember, I will work with stakeholders to promote a strong business climate that supports small business owners, cultivates cutting-edge innovators, and attracts blue-chip employers from around the globe. Religious Liberty It is dangerous and unconstitutional for government to control religious beliefs. I will stand strong in support of our religious liberty. Limited Government I support improving government efficiency by focusing government on its core functions. This will decrease government spending – and, as a result, taxes – without compromising essential services like public safety and road maintenance. Transparency, Responsiveness and Accountability Plano’s residents deserve a responsive government that is held accountable to the citizens. Complete transparency is the only way to make government accountable to the citizens. I will always maintain an open-door policy during my time on Council. Improve Roads and Traffic Conditions Families need to be able to get to work and school on our roads. Improving roads and reducing traffic will be one of my top priorities during my time on Council. Referendums I support conducting referendums when citizen petitions are submitted.	”
