My Platform for New Leadership Jim McLaughlin
I have served diverse communities for decades. I want to bring new leadership to Springfield.
My focus on the community
- You deserve a Board that listens and provides a responsive set of governmental services.
- You deserve representation on state and national issues affecting our local community.
- You deserve a Board that supports local businesses, restaurants, and other service providers.
- You deserve a Board that is focused on home values as a principal form of family wealth and a safe, secure place to raise and care for families.
- You deserve a Board that never forgets that we're part of a regional economy.
- And you deserve a Board focused on environmental responsibility, especially for energy and waste management.
My focus on our residents as citizens
- You are an essential part of our democracy and have a right to speak freely without fear of retribution or retaliation.
- You deserve to be heard by your elected officials through transparency and active engagement.
- You deserve to understand how our unique system of government works at all levels.
- You deserve to speak out and to organize with others when officials are not acting in the best interests of your community, the state, or the nation. I WANT to hear from you.
My focus on residents as individuals
- You deserve to experience a diversity of opinions, philosophies, and cultures that make communities the richest possible experience.
- You deserve equitable access to all that our community offers.
- You deserve to be part of a community that is inclusive and respectful of the needs of all residents.
- And you deserve to be free to choose your own path through life and to live, love, and collaborate with anyone you choose.
