His campaign says city government should be easier to understand and use. It lists four goals: helping residents find the right city department, publishing regular reports on resident experiences and service gaps, simplifying Clerk services such as City Stickers, parking permits, and CityKey, and making city information clearer and more accessible. The campaign says it is collecting petition signatures to get on the ballot.
