Dear Friends & Neighbors,

GREAT NEWS!

I am pleased to announce I’m running for Tacoma Mayor again. I'm gonna win this time, especially with your help! Early donations are crucial to a successful campaign and with your support I’ll get that extra boost I need to help me build a solid foundation for my campaign.

If you want to learn more about me and my campaign, here are a few key issues I’m dedicated and passionate about: 

(click on any bullet point below to learn more)

• I will put all 24 Charter Recommendations on the ballot for Tacoma to vote on as soon as I am elected. 

• I want to fund the Tacoma Police Department to hire more DCR (Designated Crisis Responders) to evaluate street individuals who are exhibiting signs of a behavioral health disorder.

• I’m determined to write a more careful city budget, that respects all Tacoma tax payers.

• I will clean up our streets, neighborhoods and keep people safe.

• My plan to protect our aquifers and natural environment.

• I have some very unique ideas on how to revitalize, enhance and utilize downtown to its utmost potential.

• I’m gonna dig deep and solve our pathetic recycling system.

• Here are my ideas about reducing homelessness.

• I will make it easier to start a small business, create jobs and sustain success in our city.

• I am a huge advocate for the growth of all Tacoma arts and the return of the film industry and its never-ending revenue for Tacoma and the PNW region.

• Let’s expand recreation areas, community gardens and shared green spaces while increasing the use of solar energy.

• I want to add revenue and civic pride by boosting festivals and events.

• I want to incentivize corporations to relocate their headquarters in strategic key areas of Tacoma.

• I have a more cost-effective grease-trap choice for Tacoma’s small restaurants and bars that will be environmentally safe.

• Here’s my plan to improve waterfront accessibility and smarter parking lot designs.

• I want to break down the barriers that divide us as a community and work towards unifying the people of Tacoma.

• I’d like to honor Tacoma’s history by retaining architectural landmarks around the city.

I’m deeply committed to this work of building a brighter tomorrow and a better today for all of us and our city of destiny. While I stand here with great vision, my work is a joint effort. Of course, this isn’t a job just one person can do. Winning the election requires a team effort, and I’m lucky to have friends like you on my team! Your donation of $50, $100, $500 … or even the legal maximum of $2,150 per person is very important. 

I look forward to being actively engaged and as always, my inbox is open to you for any and all questions and concerns you have regarding my service to our city. Haverly@VisualizeTacoma.com

I am eternally grateful for every one of you that is on this journey with me. When we solve these key issues, we can all be proud to live in a safe and thriving city. Thank you for your donation and support and please feel welcome to share this news with your community.

Sincerely,

Steve Haverly

Your Candidate for Mayor
