The City of Madison must budget and operate with the discipline of a well-run business. A key part of my vision is to ensure we efficiently plan, prioritize, and deploy our resources—especially for long-term investments like roads and infrastructure. I approach this the same way I’ve led every business: aligning strategy with the budget. The budget isn’t just numbers on a page - it’s the roadmap for our priorities and the execution plan for our vision. . When strategy, budgeting, and day-to-day operations work in sync, that's when real, measurable results happen.
My core values drive me to confront difficult decisions and tackle problems head-on. When our city faces challenges, I promise to do what comes naturally to me: bring people with diverse opinions together, address the hard issues, explore opportunities, and always find a path forward.
No one works harder for our citizens than our police, firefighters, and other first responders. As our city grows, ensuring the safety of our families and schools is critical. I will be a champion for public safety and work tirelessly to ensure these essential services have the equipment, training, and resources they need to succeed.
Madison is a beautiful place, and we all value having safe and welcoming spaces for our families to gather outdoors. Maintaining these spaces requires significant financial investment. As your next Councilor, I will ensure we responsibly fund our parks and recreational facilities—without sacrificing other essential needs.
Madison is unlike any other place in our state, or even the country. Within our city, we have some of the best schools in the nation, thriving greenways, and parks that encourage outdoor enjoyment. David Bier's vision is to protect and strengthen this amazing gem of a city, while promoting smart and reasoned economic growth. Through thoughtful planning, collaboration, and a steadfast commitment to our identity, we can preserve the uniqueness that makes Madison such a special place to live.
