JOE BENSON
Occupation: Attorney
Age: 43
Education and Qualifications: I want to serve the people of our great City to ensure it
continues to be a special place to live, work, and visit. I want our City to embrace its next chapter
in a way that both preserves its special characteristics and solves the immense challenges
ahead. As your next City Council member, I will push forward policies and budgets that are
based upon fiscal responsibility and data driven decision making, not political ideology.
My priorities include: (a) the success of our local economy by focusing on public safety,
accessibility, and mitigating the impacts of homelessness; (b) much needed infrastructure
improvements; (c) housing inventory aligned with community needs; (d) diversity, equity, and
inclusion investments to ensure everyone in our City is actively supported and welcomed; and
(e) conservation and open space acquisition.
As your next City Council member, I will be focused on the needs of working families and the
prosperity of our small business community. Our City needs people who can think big, enable
change, and get things done. I will bring each of these attributes to the job. I promise I will work
as hard as anyone to make the best decisions possible. www.joeforslo.com
