2017

Padilla's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[3]

Public safety

  • Excerpt: "Our city’s public safety depends on having a robust network of agencies that can work together to create a safer and better city, including everything from Child Protective Services and the Department of Senior Affairs to mental health resources and emergency medical response."

Homelessness

  • Excerpt: "The “housing first” model that has been so effective Utah has shown that even in the face of other factors, such as drug use and mental health and disability issues, providing homeless people with housing is the most effective way of reducing homelessness. We need leaders who will embrace this sort of evidence-based, non-punitive policy to transform our city. "

Economic development

  • Excerpt: "The answer is to take a look at the taxes being places on small businesses by the city (taxes that are often used to pay for projects that no one wants, never take off, or both) and start cutting them back. Creating incentives for building owners to keep their storefronts occupied could help businesses get through slumps caused by short-term issues like construction, so that they can provide the jobs that our citizens want. Small businesses can’t act as a piggy bank for the city and pay their workers a fair wage at the same time, and our workers are more important."

Police

  • Excerpt: "In the four years since activists like Stella Padilla fought to have the DOJ intervene, the city has only reached 18% compliance with the recommendations. Taxpayers pay a million dollars for a federal monitor that our leaders have shown no intent to listen to – money that could be spent elsewhere if we had a government that was willing to properly train and oversee its police force. The “downward pressure of accountability” that federal monitor James Ginger has called for needs to come from the top office in our city, the mayor."
