Constant's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[4]
Public safety
- Excerpt: "When it comes to out-of-control gun violence and the epidemic of drugs in our community, we must employ a multi-pronged strategy of funding needed behavioral health care and re-entry services for offenders while also providing law enforcement with the resources they need to combat these issues. But that’s just part of the solution. As a compassionate society, we have an obligation to do what we can to address these problems in a comprehensive way, making sure our at-risk youth have positive options and role models to lead them down a different, successful path."
Infrastructure
- Excerpt: "I will focus on securing a route for the highway connection that will resolve unanswered transportation and infrastructure questions that are causing blight and threatening to add thousands of trips per day through our residential neighborhoods."
Economic development
- Excerpt: "I will focus on redevelopment of the Gambell Street corridor to provide important economic development opportunities by promoting mixed use higher density housing developments, providing relief from threats to our lower density historic neighborhoods."
