Campaign themes

2013

In an article from Howell Patch, Herskowitz explained his campaign themes:[2]

  • Property Taxes

"I am not going to blindly say I will try to lower property taxes. I will work hard to find alternate school funding that is both equitable and fair to all that understand that our children need to learn, but not at the expense of taxing our homeowners out of their homes."

  • Urban Growth

"I will work hard to slow the explosive growth in Lakewood without any regard to crumbling infrastructure in our area."

  • Economy

"I will address the needs of businesses, as I know all too well the challenges of running a small business. I will strive to bring respectable jobs and manufacturing back to our area without damaging the character of our communities."
