Campaign themes

2017

Saucedo's campaign website listed the following priorities:

“ Platform
  • Economic Development with a focus on Locally-Owned Businesses and Job Creation
  • Promote and Support Historical and Open Space Preservation
  • Ensure Government Accountability and Transparency
  • Control rising Property Taxes while advocating more Public Private Partnerships for Major Quality of Life Projects
  • Prioritize Investment in our Fire and Police Departments to keep pace with our growing population and decrease 911 wait times

Vision
El Paso is the 19th largest city in the United States, yet we continually hear from young professionals that the market for good paying jobs is small, and many are forced to leave the city they love for better opportunities. We need to keep our talent here in El Paso. We need to incentivize and make El Paso vibrant so that companies begin filing in line to setup shop in our community. As your Mayor, this will be top priority.

  • Capitalize on the emerging Aerospace Industry
  • Expand the El Paso Film Industry
  • Promote historical tourism and entertainment[7]
