The Issues
Sound judgment, fiscal responsibility, and a steadfast commitment to District 24.
Pillar One
Reduce Costs
for Families
Working families and seniors in District 24 are feeling the squeeze of rising costs. August will prioritize their needs, enforce fiscal discipline, and align the county budget with what our community actually requires — including taking on the housing affordability crisis head-on.
Prioritize Working Families & Seniors
Keep the needs of everyday residents — not special interests — at the center of every budget decision.
Eliminate Wasteful Spending
Enforce fiscal discipline across county government. Every dollar spent must serve a clear community need.
Align the Budget with Core Needs
Reshape county spending to reflect District 24's actual priorities — not bureaucratic inertia.
Expand Affordable Housing
Confront rising housing costs by expanding affordable housing stock and making District 24 livable for everyone.
Pillar Two
Support & Maintain
Infrastructure
Rural roads, aging bridges, and drainage systems that can't handle storms — District 24 residents deserve infrastructure that works. August will respond swiftly and cost-effectively to keep our community safe and connected.
Maintain Rural Roads Safely
Ensure rural roads across District 24 are properly maintained — safe for residents, emergency vehicles, and businesses year-round.
Respond to Storm Damage
Act swiftly and cost-effectively after storm damage and washouts, minimizing disruption and protecting public safety.
Improve Drainage Systems
Upgrade aging drainage systems and culvert maintenance to prevent flooding and protect homes and roads.
Repair Bridges with Urgency
Address bridge deterioration with the urgency and fiscal responsibility it demands — no deferred maintenance, no shortcuts.
Pillar Three
Protect Public
Safety & Health
Strong communities are safe communities. August will ensure our first responders have what they need, expand access to mental health treatment, and protect the civil liberties of every District 24 resident — because safety and freedom are not in conflict.
Strengthen Public Safety
Work to maintain and improve public safety across District 24, ensuring a visible and responsive law enforcement presence.
Support Police & First Responders
Give police, fire, and EMS the resources they need to do their jobs well and keep our community protected.
Expand Mental Health Access
Expand access to mental health treatment as a core public health priority — for residents of all ages and backgrounds.
Protect Civil Liberties
Ensure that safety measures never come at the expense of civil liberties. Every resident's rights deserve protection.
Pillar Four
Expand Economic
Opportunity
A thriving District 24 means small businesses that succeed, young families that choose to stay, and a natural environment worth protecting. August will create the conditions for lasting economic growth while preserving what makes this community worth living in.
Support Small Businesses
Strengthen the small businesses that are the backbone of District 24's economy — reducing red tape and creating conditions for them to thrive.
Attract & Retain Young Families
Create the conditions that make District 24 a place where young families want to put down roots and build their futures.
Workforce Development
Expand county workforce development programs that connect residents with good jobs and give local employers a skilled talent pipeline.
Protect Community Character
Preserve the natural environment and the quality of life that make District 24 special — growth should enhance our community, not erode it.
