build bloomington’s future together
Reinvest in the people who live and work in Bloomington so our city’s future is in the hands of those who truly understand Bloomington’s culture and have a stake in its long-term success.
Utilize our homegrown talents to solve the issues we face, rather than relying on expensive outside consultants who lack accountability measures.
Keep Bloomington Local
Invest in Bloomington’s Identity
Prioritize local artists for public art projects.
Protect our greenspaces and public parks, encouraging quality events and community programming.
Expand artist studio space and opportunities to promote individual work.
Preserve our unique and diverse identity in the face of attacks from the state and federal government.
Find the balance between protecting historic neighborhoods and meeting the need for denser and more affordable housing.
Establish fair and consistent bidding practices and prioritize local partners when beginning new construction projects.
Launch a program for pre-approved pattern homes distinct to individual neighborhoods across the city to increase the housing stock while maintaining the character of Bloomington neighborhoods.
Incentivize annexation instead of forcing it. If the City is going to welcome new residents, it is important to start off on the right foot: democratically.
Housing & Development
Public Safety
Engage local public safety experts to make Bloomington a leading partner in reforming how local law enforcement interacts with their community.

Protect the independent character of downtown by prioritizing locally owned businesses.
A City Hall That Works
Build meaningful partnerships and working relationships between the city and county governments to ensure efficiency in vital infrastructure projects. Our elected officials should be unified in prioritizing our community above all else.
Lead with transparency, accountability and honesty. Keep residents informed by publishing consistent reports evaluating success of policy initiatives.
