Priorities

Reminder: these are not campaign promises. David Watson is not running for City Council. These are just things he believes as a resident of Mountain View, presented here to show what a real candidate’s platform could look like in this template.

1. Mountain View should have room for everyone

David believes the city can’t have room for everyone without more homes — so he speaks up at council, talks it through with his neighbors, and backs candidates who’ll vote for housing near jobs and transit.

He shows up to comment when housing is on the agenda.
He tells his neighbors why more homes is a good thing, over and over.
He is not, however, running to cast those votes himself.

2. Streets that are safe for everyone

David rides these streets, so he wants them safe and connected — protected bike lanes, safe routes to school, intersections designed for people.

He pushes for it as a resident and a constituent.
He supports candidates who’ll actually build it.
He is not one of those candidates. He is just enthusiastic.

3. A local government that delivers

David likes city hall to be fast, honest, and open about how decisions get made.

He reads the budget. For fun. As a hobby. Not as a candidate.
He emails his elected officials when service standards slip.
He’ll happily vote for someone who’ll fix it — that someone is not David.

4. A cleaner, greener Mountain View

David wants parks, tree canopy, and a livable climate as the city grows — and he champions all of it.

As a volunteer, a voter, and a neighbor.
Not as a candidate, because — say it with him — he is not running.

Care about an issue that isn’t here? Tell a real candidate. Or tell David; he’ll pass it along.
