Our priorities
Progress you can feel
in everyday life.
A growing tax base and new investment should improve life for the people already here. These are Gary’s priorities for Danville’s next chapter.
Housing
A place to live. A chance to stay.
- Encourage more homes and apartments, including affordable housing options.
- Strengthen tenant protections and pursue a Tenants’ Bill of Rights within the city’s authority.
- Improve shelter resources and services for neighbors experiencing homelessness.
Safety
Safe streets are for everyone.
- Prioritize sidewalks, safer crossings, and accessible routes for people with disabilities.
- Connect pedestrian safety with access to jobs, schools, stores, and transit.
- Support police and firefighters with facilities, equipment, and resources.
Jobs
Connect growth to local opportunity.
- Recruit good-paying jobs and industries that broaden the local economy.
- Support career and technical education and workforce training.
- Help residents access the opportunities created by Danville’s growth.
Education
Open doors for our children.
- Invest in school facilities and strong learning environments.
- Support teachers and the resources they need to help students succeed.
- Value extracurricular activities, technical education, and hands-on career pathways.
Retirees
Service deserves lasting respect.
- Support a yearly cost-of-living allowance for retired city employees tied to inflation.
- Recognize the workers who kept Danville running through its hardest years.
- Make sure retirees can share in the progress they helped build.
Responsible stewardship
Build progress that lasts.
Gary supports thoughtful decisions about city revenue, essential services, and long-term commitments. Major investments should come with a clear plan for how the city will maintain and sustain them.
