Ben’s Priorities

 

• Bring a responsible approach to homelessness—

Offer help to those in need while taking action to

protect businesses, customers, and neighborhoods.

​

• Ensure adequate and stable funding and programs

for public safety—It’s essential that residents, visitors

and shoppers feel safe in Everett.

​

• Balance the budget with careful spending and avoid

taxes that discourage sales and investment. Encourage

businesses that will bring family wage jobs and

increase the tax base.

​

• Promote responsible development and a range of

housing choices while protecting homeowners that are

the anchors of our neighborhoods.

​

​

• Enhance the quality of life in south Everett.

I’ve been working directly with the project manager of the Silver Lake Trail for more than a year and will broaden these efforts as the council member for your district.
