Families First, Lower Taxes, No Tolls
“The County Council position is really about the people of that district. Councilors come and go but the people's ability to shape their government remains. I’m running for County Council District 3 because this is my home. It is where I’ve raised my 8 kids, many foster children, and where I’m currently employed in education. I love my community and, because of that, I am very concerned about families in my district.”
ENDORSEMENTS
Chuck Keplar Is The Only Candidate In District Three To Be ENDORSED BY THE CLARK COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY
Councilor Michelle Belkot - “I enthusiastically endorse Chuck Keplar for Clark County Council. While several candidates are positioning themselves as conservatives, moderate Republicans, or independents, I know from experience who has the right qualities to serve the people effectively.
Lower Tax Burden
Families are over-taxed and getting less for their money in Clark County. In 2015, the county expenses were about $150 million a year. Today they are $224.4 million, a 50% increase with only a 15% population increase during the same time period. County spending needs a common sense approach and our leaders should be pushing to lower taxes and reduce spending.
Increase Community Safety
Public safety is a high priority and the safety of our children in school is a big part of that. We need to prioritize the safety of our kids, especially in schools, and do everything we can at the county level to protect our children. The public safety tax revenue could be a good resource for these solutions. Homelessness and drug overdoses are out of control in our county and we need to be recovery-based instead of harm-reduction-based. Every year we hand out more needles than we have residents in the county. We need to do better or we will become Portland.
Pursue Affordable Transportation
Transportation is very important. We need to take action or tolls will be in our future. That would be devastating for my district and the County. We must work together for more sensible and affordable transportation solutions. District 3 is right in the crosshairs of plans for tolling and families depend on the I-205 bridge for work and if tolling happens it will hurt working families the most. The County Council has a limited role but can make a difference and I will put my full effort to provide better solutions to our growing community transportation needs without tolls and taxes.
