Amy's Top 10 for '25! My Top Ten Priorities as a Member of Allen's City Council are: 1. PRIORITIZE ALLEN'S SAFETY. Provide, support, and expand resources needed by Allen's protective and first-responding services and personnel -- its Police Department, Fire Department, and other emergency and public-safety professionals and entities. 2. EMPOWER ECONOMIC GROWTH. Investigate, facilitate, and implement new and creative economic-development and employment-expanding opportunities throughout Allen. 3. BOOST ALLEN'S BEAUTY AND BOUNTY. Sustain, enhance, and grow Allen's incomparable nationally recognized parks, community centers, trail systems, recreation facilities, and public spaces. 4. DELIVER BANG-FOR-THE-BUCK CITY SERVICES. Prioritize, energize, and lead City governance's fulfillment of exceptional civic services with maximum efficiencies and fiscal responsibility, at the lowest achievable residential tax rate possible. 5. EMPHASIZE BETTER, CLEARER COMMUNICATIONS. Champion clear, timely, illuminating communication of City goals, civic challenges, and community impacts to all Allen residents, businesses, and stakeholders. 6. LINK MINDS, ARMS, AND HEARTS. Build, broaden, and deepen engagement with the public by fostering dialogue, encouraging transparency, and evolving consensus in order to strengthen trust, confidence, and civic participation. 7. PURSUE IMPACTFUL PARTNERSHIPS. Harness, leverage, and capitalize on my tenure and experience with Allen ISD to inform, bolster, and elevate the strategic partnership joining our community's great municipal and educational institutions in shared vision and mission success. 8. DEFEND THE AMERICAN DREAM IN ALLEN. Pursue, galvanize, and realize initiatives to ensure the availability and affordability of housing, schooling, and living in Allen for all of its residents. 9. PROTECT, NURTURE, AND PRESERVE ONE ANOTHER. Manifest, multiply, and magnify municipal and private programs to protect, assist, and uplift Allen's impaired, infirm, and vulnerable populations and to extend not only compassion but consequential relief to our Allen neighbors in need. 10. PRESS ON BOLDLY INTO OUR FUTURE. Work with creativity, clarity, and conviction to secure Allen's safety, prosperity, and singularity for future generations as a model of industry, integrity, and empathy for our area, State, and Nation.
