The Road to Results

Deep Dives on the Issues

What the problem is, what’s worked locally, and the concrete steps we’ll take next - partners, timelines, and resources.

Good Jobs & Small Business

What the problem is: Too many employers can’t find trained workers; small shops drown in red tape to expand or hire.


What’s worked locally: School-to-apprenticeship pilots, one-stop permit help desks, and “hire local” job fairs run with chambers and unions.


Concrete steps next — partners, timelines, resources:

  • Partners: Community colleges & CTE centers, chambers, trade unions, major employers.

  • Timelines: First 100 days: stand up a one-form online permit portal; Year 1: 500 new apprenticeship seats; Year 2: expand to rural towns.

  • Resources: State workforce grants, small-business technical assistance funds, employer stipend matches for apprentices.

Strong Schools & Youth Success

What the problem is: Learning gaps widened; families want safe, well-equipped classrooms and real pathways to careers.

What’s worked locally: High-dosage tutoring after school, teacher–industry partnerships for career-tech, and community-led campus safety upgrades.

Concrete steps next — partners, timelines, resources:

  • Partners: School districts, parent groups, youth nonprofits, local industries, libraries.

  • Timelines: First 100 days: recruit & train a volunteer tutor corps; Year 1: add career-tech sections (health, trades, IT) at two hubs; Year 2: expand dual-credit options.

  • Resources: Federal/state education grants, philanthropy for tutoring stipends, donated equipment from employers for CTE labs.


Safer, Healthier Communities

What the problem is: Non-violent crises too often default to 911 alone; victims need faster support and prevention that actually reduces harm.

What’s worked locally: Community navigator teams, co-responder mental-health units, youth mentorship, and survivor assistance hotlines.

Concrete steps next — partners, timelines, resources:

  • Partners: Health systems, crisis lines, neighborhood groups, law enforcement, victim services.

  • Timelines: First 100 days: pilot evening co-responder shifts; Year 1: neighborhood navigator teams in 5 areas; Year 2: countywide coverage and hospital warm handoffs.

  • Resources: Public health funds, DOJ/VOCA victim-services grants, shared training across departments.

Reliable Infrastructure & Lower Costs

What the problem is: Aging roads and unreliable transit waste time and money; high energy bills strain household budgets.

What’s worked locally: “Fix it first” paving, bus-priority corridors with sheltered stops, home weatherization, and small business energy retrofits.

Concrete steps next — partners, timelines, resources:

  • Partners: County road commissions, transit agencies, utilities, contractor unions, housing nonprofits.

  • Timelines: First 100 days: publish a fix-it-first road list and start transit reliability upgrades; Year 1: 2 priority corridors improved; Year 2: 5,000 homes weatherized.

  • Resources: State transportation dollars, federal infrastructure/energy funds, utility rebates, local hiring requirements in contracts.

Quarterly scorecards

For each priority, we show where we started, the goal, where we are now, a clear status, how much we planned to spend vs. actually spent, and big steps done. View online or download as PDF or CSV.

Open data

We’ll post the raw numbers, a short guide that explains each column, and a clear “what changed” note for every update. You’ll also get simple links for developers and an archive so anyone can check our math.

Plain-English updates

What changed, what’s coming, and how to comment - all on one page with pictures/maps and a quick recap video. We’ll make it accessible, translate it, and host office hours and a scheduled Q&A each month.
