As we move deeper into the 21^st Century, worldwide economic problems, wars in the Middle East, and the current environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico point to significant challenges for our country and for us here in Tracy.

If the 21^st Century is even half as eventful and dynamic as the 20^th Century, we are facing major changes as we move through the decades. We need to plan for the future while serving current community needs.

Let’s balance our City budget without raising taxes.

Let’s make community safety a top priority.

Let’s guarantee a solid future for Tracy with strong measures that foster economic development.

Let's preserve our history and identity. As we add neighborhoods, let's continue to improve and support our downtown area. Let's give our neighborhoods the character and amenities that foster community and that support people and their families. Over the years, the quality of our neighborhoods will sustain us.

We need a balanced, reasonable approach to the issues facing Tracy. We need to listen carefully to needs, concerns, and wishes of all citizens of Tracy.
