Maddalon's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[12]
Education
- Excerpt: "I will work with CMS on supporting our schools making sure they have safe, secure learning environments. I will work to make sure the city and school board coordinate on new facilities to save tax dollars on amenities such as community centers, recreational and parks near our public schools. Finally, I think we should look at after school programs in our Parks & Recreation Department to help at-risk children, keeping them off the streets, out of gangs and in a positive, learning environment."
Community investment
- Excerpt:
| “ | I will work to provide for smart community investments that uplift our neighborhoods and promote a sense of pride for the city.
|
” |
Transit
- Excerpt: "The 2030 Transit Plan has been mortally wounded. It’s clear now that we were never going to be able to afford to build it with the resources earmarked for its construction. Couple that with the crippling effects of the great recession on local sales taxes, and we have a problem. It’s currently thought to be unachievable to the tune of billions of dollars short. I firmly believe that the build-out of the entire transit system is the essential linchpin to everything we hope to achieve in this century, not just as a city, but as a region. I will do everything within my power to support creative funding alternatives for getting our transit initiatives back on track. I will ask hard questions and will insist that the solutions to this challenge be part of every strategic conversation we have."
