Editor, News-Register:
Thank you for filing as a mayoral candidate in the City of Wheeling's 2024 Municipal Election.
Frequently, citizens hear from mayoral candidates' political intentions should they be elected. However, often these initiatives are cast in very generic terms (I will make the city safer; I will bring new jobs; I will encourage the arts; etc.)
With six mayoral candidates, I think that it would be a great service to the City's voters if each of you could delineate particular goals which follow the SMART model (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) for your term should you be elected mayor. Within that criteria, I would hope that financing would also be addressed.
The identification of SMART mayoral goals for all four years of your term would enable voters to make informed, data-driven decisions when deciding who would best lead the City of Wheeling.
