The Issues

Traffic Safety and Overdevelopment Impact

• Push for inter-township coordination and full traffic impact studies before any major development.

• Pressure state and county agencies to address dangerous intersections, especially near Airport Road and Route 57.

• Prioritize resident safety and infrastructure improvements over unchecked growth.

Preserving Farmland and Open Spaces

• Protect farmland from rezoning or high-density development proposals.

• Support conservation programs that keep land in agricultural use and open space preservation.

• Promote responsible stewardship that balances growth with Mansfield’s rural character.

Fiscal Accountability and Responsible Spending

• Conduct a 10-year financial audit to uncover waste and inefficiency.

• Increase transparency so residents can clearly see how every tax dollar is spent.

• Challenge unnecessary expenditures and focus resources on visible, measurable results.

Restoring Accountability / Listening to Residents

• Encourage public input through open forums, surveys, and responsive communication.

• Hold officials accountable for decisions and ensure transparency in all township actions.

• Make sure every resident’s voice matters, not just a select few.

Responsible Social Media Conduct

• Represent all residents respectfully, avoiding online ridicule or partisan hostility.

• Use official platforms responsibly — to inform, not inflame.

• Set a tone of professionalism and integrity, promoting open and civil dialogue.

Efficient Government without Expansion

• Deliver better services without adding layers of government or increasing overhead.

• Implement performance reviews and smart budgeting to maximize value for residents.

• Prioritize results-driven governance focused on efficiency and responsiveness.

Modernizing Local Government

• Introduce digital workflows for permits, licensing, and service requests to cut wait times and paperwork.

• Upgrade township infrastructure and software systems to streamline communication between departments.

• Promote a data-driven approach to operations, tracking performance and outcomes to guide decisions.

Public Safety Analysis and Improvements

• Create a Public Safety Sub-Committee that unites fire, EMS, and police leadership with the township committee.

• Address response times, equipment needs, and staffing through regular collaboration.

• Support and strengthen volunteer services while exploring sustainable, cost-effective improvements.
