As your councilman Bob will work for:

Public Safety
Police and Fire services are the most important functions of city government. LeGare will make sure funding for these departments will be a priority, and will work to make sure that public safety funding is efficiently allocated to best serve Aurora citizens.

Jobs and Economic Development
LeGare will work to bring new businesses to Aurora which means more Aurora based jobs. Bob will also work to bring businesses that complement the economic engines of Fitzsimons Campus and Buckley AFB. New business equals increased revenues for our city.

Neighborhoods and Community
With the recovering economy,—Bob LeGare will support improved services in areas such as public safety, recreation, road maintenance, forestry and libraries. Aurora has cut services such as recreation, road maintenance, forestry and libraries. These departments are most critical to our residents and neighborhoods.[8]
