Sustainable Growth

Rachel will ensure tax paying CITIZENS are #1 and their voice is heard!

• While Madison leaders want to embrace growth, we cannot sacrifice the quality of life of our existing families.
• Schools are the heart of Madison. We must ensure every investment is balanced to benefit all families.
• We must concentrate on people, resources, and infrastructure in ways that improve quality of life, drive innovation, and support economic growth.

Amenities that Serve Families

Recreational Life: Enhance the city’s quality of life by expanding and modernizing recreational opportunities for all age groups to include veterans and those with special needs (adults and children) that provide a wide range of family friendly fun outlets while maintaining fiscal discipline.

Actions:

• Conduct a Community Recreation Needs Survey (within 3 months) to identify desired recreational facilities or programs.
• Allocate the proper amount of annual funding to consistently sustain existing parks, playgrounds, and recreation centers to stay ‘like new’ and upgrade as needed.

Cultural Arts & Entertainment: Rachel is committed to the growth of art and entertainment outlets while maintaining fiscal responsibility. Madison is a vibrant cultural and entertainment hub. There’s multiple opportunities to generate revenue that benefits the entire community within a city. She’ll ensure the revenue generated enhances quality of life for all residents, consistently.

Action:

• Execute only revenue driven contract terms that serve the entire community well.
• Partner with local businesses and nonprofits to offer pop-up events and mobile recreation to gather the community in alternative cost effective ways.

Law Enforcement & First Responders

• Safety Nets & Resilience: Madison City must continue to have top notch law enforcement and first responders to ensure peace of mind to our deserving residents.
• Emergency services: Faster response times and better coverage.
• Shelters & support services: For vulnerable populations within the community.
• Disaster preparedness: Better planning and infrastructure for natural or human-made events.
• Creation of Youth Programs: Investing in our future by inspiring our youth to become the next generation of Madison City professionals (Cadet program).
