4 Priority Issues

Our decisions to engage on individual issues are driven by four overarching areas of focus.

Development balance:

Supporting policies that strike a good balance between smart, strategic development and protecting open spaces

Infrastructure to support town needs:

Equitable, excellent civic infrastructure that matches our progressive ideals and expectations

Deeper civic participation:

Inclusive, informed, robust resident participation that engages a wider cross-section of residents and helps them remain informed on the issues

THRIVING PUBLIC SCHOOLS:

With dedicated resources that support sustainable infrastructure,  diverse student and educator needs, high quality and equitable curriculum, and a stable leadership so that our students, staff, and community can thrive. 

Individually, we all have interests that stretch much further than these four issues. We feel that these are the most important areas in which to focus in order to move Amherst forward.
