Campaign themes

2016

Ehorn's 2016 campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

AVAILIBILITY
The most important part of being an elected official (public servant) is to be available for those who are being served. Knowing that often times it is very difficult to reach an elected official Matthew will be in office 5 days a week to listen to the concerns of Irvine and work towards implementing necessary changes to increase the quality of life in this great city. Matthew also understands the true meaning of being an elected official. Matthew says that elected officials are there to serve the people at whatever capacity is necessary. Matthew has listed his personal contact information in hopes that the residents of Irvine will reach out to him when they are in need of service. Matthew wants to serve you in every way; from making policies, to helping you with the notorious Saturday landscaping day, and that is a promise!


COMMUNITY
The great thing about an involved community is there are no limits to what can be accomplished. Irvine has already accomplished the greatest task of all by the community coming together to make their home safe for their family and all those who come to visit. Matthew will implement more city activities and will work on distributing the activities more effectively so that the whole family can come and play.

As many of us know traffic is a very big issue here in Irvine. Irvine's rapid growth has superseded its ability to manage the flow of traffic. Many have tried to add different features to our signals in hopes to synchronize traffic, but it has not been effective. Irvine's master plan needs to be assesed and changed in order to properly support the increasing population. In conjunction with the residents of Irvine Matthew will work towards implementing a public transportation system within the city to reduce the number of cars on the road way.


ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Though the City of Irvine has been working towards being environmentally friendly they have not done enough. Matthew will be working together with the great tax payers of Irvine and other elected officials to make Irvine run 100% off of renewable energy. The time is now to be climate conscious!


SUSTAINABILITY
There is no denying the great job that all of our past elected officials did in governing and creating policies that has helped Irvine to be the city it is today. Irvine is the safest city in America 11 years in a row. Irvine is also one of the fastest growing economies in the country. Irvine needs to continue to support its local bussinesses and continue to offer the best education in the state to attract quality businesses and students. Matthew and the other elected officials will continue to grow the city and work off of the great structure that has already been established.[4][5]
