Mount Vernon businessman André Wallace exclusively announced he will be running for Mount Vernon City Council on the Sunday, April 6, 2015 episode of Black Westchester presents The People Before Politics Radio Show.
Wallace shares with the show hosts Damon K.Jones and AJ Woodson, and co-host Cynthia Turnquest-Jones why he feels he is the candidate that voters should vote for in one of the open City Council seats available in the September 10th Democratic Primary.
André Wallace shares that his main policy positions focus on fiscal responsibility, improving basic city services, and increasing transparency in government operations.
Wallace says his key positions included:
- Fiscal Management and Taxes: Pledging to control and reduce taxes, which he argued were excessive for homeowners.
- Economic Development and Jobs: Proposing to reduce unemployment, citing his construction experience and a job training program he ran as models for boosting the local economy.
- Improving City Services: Addressing the perceived decline in essential city services and overall quality of life.
- Government Transparency and Responsibility: Promising to make City Hall more “responsive and responsible” and expanding the transparency of city government operations.
These positions are part of a broader platform aimed at addressing what he described as a “broken system” and ensuring the city’s government works for its residents.
