You can bring people together around the issue of economic fairness. I don't want to be a mayor that goes into one neighborhood and gets jeered, and goes into another neighborhood and gets cheered.

I am working hard to ensure that working families can continue to afford to live in our city.

It would be great to take one city street and turn it into a pedestrian corridor and see what kind of effect it has on the businesses in that area - It's the future I think.

We must do more to protect our neighborhoods and give integrity to our community plans.

I'm one who demands a lot from people. I'm not afraid to look at alternative ways in city government. That's what I've done in my two years and will continue to do in the next four.

We want the city back on its feet. We want to have jobs for the city.

Livable neighborhoods with a vibrant street life will stimulate our economic life as well.

If your city's being populated by highly educated twentysomethings with choices, you're probably going to succeed.

I want to be a mayor who helped, really helped.

We should concentrate our work not only to a separated housing problem but housing involved in our daily work and all the other functions of the city.
