- Social Services, not incarceration services. Let's find a way to deal with our problems in a cost-effective way that presumes prevention, not punishment. We can be fair to all of Monroe County's citizens.
- Fairness through diversity. We are a diverse community full of intelligent, thoughtful, and caring people from all walks of life. Let's make sure that our government is a reflection of our citizens and represents all of us fairly.
- Fairness in economic opportunity. All of us do better when all of us do better. Let's focus on helping our own, "home-grown" companies, businesses, and employees before we focus on the needs, and greeds, of those who see Monroe County as just another "profit center."
