The Foundation — Infrastructure & Public Safety
Prioritizing the Core Functions of Government
Updated May 4, 2026
Public Safety and Infrastructure are not just line items in a budget; they are the inextricably linked foundations of a healthy city. Fire, police, water, wastewater, sanitation, roads, and the maintenance of our historic retaining walls are critical to the safety and longevity of Bisbee.
​
My Approach:
​
• Prioritized Alignment: We must ensure our essential services are prioritized and aligned with our community's values and our limited budget. This requires innovative thinking and a commitment to transparency.
​
​• Integrated Safety: Functioning utilities and reliable emergency services are interdependent. I will lead with a focus on "Total Community Safety"—where every department works in partnership to protect our residents.
