Candidate Tom Flynn
Redmond City Council, Seat #5
Strong Economy - Tom Flynn

Local Business, Innovation, Education, Arts and Culture
Endorsements

"Along with Redmond’s strong local economy in software and information technology, the city is also home to companies in avionics/aerospace, advanced technology, digital media, and homeland defense.

The city can help to foster continued economic growth in high wage jobs by implementing the recently adopted Economic Development Plan. This involves promoting innovation, collaboration with local technical colleges and universities, raising Redmond’s profile in the region and internationally, and enhancing Redmond’s “sense of place.”

A sense of place can partly be accomplished by creating attractive urban centers that incorporate innovative design, iconic and interactive art, and gathering places for residents. I will focus on the city’s outreach, policies, and programs to support a strong local economy."

Endorsements

"Encourage coordinated efforts of government, business, non-government organizations (NGO) and individual residents to ensure Redmond continues as a diverse, productive community and provides opportunity for constant improvement.

Regulation – More deference should be accorded private and business property owners regarding their own property. While protecting environmental, safety and community concerns, where necessary, regulations and the permitting process should be modified to be more reasonable and less burdensome."
