In just a few weeks, Tucson faces a significant decision: choosing its next mayor for the upcoming term. While this decision has been made many times in the past and will likely be made again in the future, the current situation sets this election apart.

Tucson finds itself at an inflection point, and the choice of mayor will profoundly impact the city's future trajectory. The people of Tucson aren't only selecting a mayor; they're also defining the qualities they seek in a leader. This time, the city cannot afford to make a wrong decision, which is why Janet Wittenbraker should be the preferred choice for every thoughtful Tucsonan on election day.

Janet Wittenbraker offers something that has been lacking in recent years: a mayor who genuinely prioritizes the city's interests. To fully grasp what she brings to the table, let's examine the current situation.

Starting with crime statistics, Tucson ranks as the eighth most dangerous city in the country (according to the FBI). Addressing this issue requires effective action, not idle waiting. Wittenbraker is willing to step up and confront this challenge head-on. Like many true Tucsonans, she is concerned and frustrated by the deteriorating safety on our streets. She recognizes the urgency of reclaiming our neighborhoods and making our streets safe for everyone. Importantly, Wittenbraker is unafraid to take the necessary steps to create a Tucson where all residents can feel secure.

Another pressing issue is homelessness, which has been on the rise, especially since 2019, coinciding with the tenure of the incumbent mayor, Regina Romero. This suggests flaws in the city's housing policies. Without swift action, the city's future is uncertain. Wittenbraker understands the need for innovative solutions in construction and housing to address homelessness comprehensively. She's committed to prioritizing efficient construction and improved housing development during her time in office.

Wittenbraker also recognizes that by addressing safety concerns and improving housing, Tucson can become a tourism hotspot and enhance its commercial status. She believes that creating the right environment will naturally lead to better job opportunities and improved wages, showcasing her visionary thinking.

Furthermore, Wittenbraker has ambitious plans for city infrastructure. Tucson's infrastructure has seen better days, and decay continues to worsen. Wittenbraker intends to revitalize the entire city, one street at a time, making substantial improvements that benefit every neighborhood.

What sets Wittenbraker apart as the future of Tucson is her unwavering belief that the city deserves more. She is ready and willing to dedicate herself to ensuring that Tucson gets all it deserves and more. This selfless leadership is precisely what the city needs.

So, on election day, cast your vote for Janet "JL" Wittenbraker. She has the qualities to make Tucson excited about its future once again.
