Campaign themes
2015
Tracy's website highlighted the following campaign themes: Education
- Excerpt: "Incremental funds deemed necessary should be provided on a staged basis provided that the SRC and PSD Administration set forth a new operating plan. This plan must demonstrate an ability to operate within newly defined financial boundaries while at the same time improving instructional conditions. Additional funding should not be derived from additional municipal taxation."[2]
Economic opportunity
- Excerpt: "Facilitate the consolidation of new and small business activity to distressed commercial corridors through streamlined regulation and tax incentives. Retail amenities, in particular, spur neighborhood job creation."[3]
Pensions
- Excerpt: "Continued emphasis on defined contribution hybrid retirement plans for new employees – younger workers tend to place greater value on portability, autonomy, and long term earning potential than their predecessors."[4]
Safety
- Excerpt: "Prioritize vacant and blighted “nuisance” property for acquisition and development. Invest in Community-Police engagement programs."[5]
Integrity in government
- Excerpt: "I will advocate for staggered Council election cycles to streamline the ballot, expand debate, and improve the voter experience, which, should ultimately have a net positive affect on voter turnout."[6]
