Question to candidates: What should the City of Tucson do to help Tucson's economy?
Tucson can help the economy by cutting taxes, deregulating business and eliminating business mandates.As Mayor, one of my top priorities is to make sure Tucson is an equitable, sustainable, thriving desert city.
Under my leadership, the City of Tucson also hired an International Trade Specialist. Mexico is our biggest trading partner. We have already welcomed 20 dignitaries and companies from Mexico and Canada. Now, I will work on powering the future of Tucson with green jobs and infrastructure, greater diversity and upward mobility in our small business ecosystem, investments in a 21st-century workforce and a resilient, climate-adapted city through the Transform Tucson Fund. We are setting a national standard for excellence in driving public-private investment into innovation, business and job creation, as well as investments in equity and sustainability.
Our community holds the solutions to many of the problems we face. Holding roundtables and listening sessions with local business owners helped to guide the work that the City of Tucson’s Small Business Navigators do.
We also have to continue the good work that the City has done in the last decade to attract companies offering high wages and health insurance to their employees to Tucson, whether that is through economic incentives or good old-fashioned networking and promoting our city.As a single mother of two small boys AND a small business owner, I'm keenly aware of the struggles people and families in our city have experienced in recent years.
