: 7548 E. 122nd Place, Thornton, 80602 : I’m a husband, father of 3, including one with special needs, community banking professional, former Marine, disabled veteran and have a Masters in Public Administration from the University of Colorado. : website and/or phone number: www.JoshforThornton.com 1) Accountable, Strategic, Transparent 2) I’m passionate about our city. Raising my family here, I see firsthand the needs of our community which has inspired me to serve. With a background in Public Administration and Finance, I understand what it takes to run a fiscally responsible organization that will entice job growth and drive quality of life improvements. 3) Economic development, public safety, public schools 4) We need prepare for our rail line by reviewing other Colorado Cities for current models and find the best possible solution. We need to ensure that the rail line is safe and accessible. Surrounding streets and areas for parking need to be our first priority. This is a great opportunity for our city to encourage positive economic development and we need to take full advantage. 5) Highway 7 is a reasonable northern boundary at present. I prefer not to place a permanent limit on growth. With planning and stakeholder collaboration, Thornton can continue to grow and maintain its home town feel. Some existing communities in Thornton are part of unincorporated Adams County. Based on support of the residents, I’d support incorporating these areas. In Ward 3, the county has minimal representation, which means the residents rely on Thornton for their needs. Unincorporated residents do not have a voice within the city, which they deserve if they want one. If they do, I will welcome them with open arms.
