Lamb's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[5]
Safety
- Excerpt: "Susan worked with the administration and her Council colleagues to make sure the city was ready to move forward on the project in an effective manner."
Roads
- Excerpt: "Susan reviewed the newly-rated conditions of 4th District streets and also drove the streets to gauge their driving condition. After that review, streets with low quality rankings were resurfaced some of those being as low as 7 out of 100. The FY16 budget included $10 million for resurfacing and, of that amount, the 4th District received over $866,000 of the funds."
Parks
- Excerpt: "Making improvements to parks in the 4th District is critical and needed so residents can enjoy these wonderful amenities. At Kirklevington Park, which is highly utilized, Susan talked to our Div. of Parks & Recreation and they agreed to upgrade exercise stations along the paved path."
Minimum wage
- Excerpt: "After months of research, meetings and debate, discussion was needed among her colleagues as well as with the city’s residents. She reached out, and met with, business owners and community leaders to listen to their input and how this issue would affect their businesses and livelihood. Susan’s Legislative Aide performed major research to produce long-term projections and estimate the impact on the city. Susan worked with her colleagues and after much discussion, an ordinance was approved by the Council."
