CREATING A MORE INCLUSIVE WESTLAND

We must work together as a city to be inclusive and welcoming to all who wish to call Westland home, visit our city, or open a business here.

MY PLAN FOR MAKING WESTLAND MORE WELCOMING
-
A PLEDGE TO TAKE NO CAMPAIGN DONATIONS FROM CITY CONTRACTORS: City contractors and those with significant financial ties to city government have wielded far too much influence in our city government in years past. It is my pledge to you the residents and taxpayers of Westland to take NOT ONE SINGLE PENNY of campaign donations from contractors who have business interests. The City Council should be doing our bidding, not that of City Assessors, Construction firms, and other contractors.
