Pool's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[6]
Economic development[7]
- Excerpt: "I support the use of 380 Agreements to bring new business to Houston. These also foster new development in areas where it was stagnant. I promote the quality of life for the citizens of Houston. We tend to focus a lot on making Houston a destination, but sometime neglect the locals. I would like to see some 380 agreement diverted to help eliminate food deserts in our inner-city neighborhoods."
Public works
- Excerpt: "I propose that funds neighborhood associations and Management Districts play a larger role in identifying street and other infrastructure issues and have the power to temporary fix these issues shut as pot holes until the city can permanently fix the street and keep the holes from returning."
Parks & recreation
- Excerpt: "I support a greater plan to make the bayou system more citizen friendly. I would like to see all of our city parks interconnected via hike and bike trails. A joint effect of the city, police and fire department to take back our parks and maintain them. Create a certification program to allow contractors to make repairs in conjunction with neighborhood associations and management districts."
Police & safety
- Excerpt: "I have been a long time supporter of body cameras on Law Enforcement Officers long before the idea received national attention. I believe these protect both our officers and citizens. I support a commitment to expand and increase involvement in Houston C.O.P. Citizens on Patrol."
