Bridget Binsbacher
What do you believe are the three most important issues facing the city of Peoria?
• Leadership and experience matter a great deal when leading a city. I am the only candidate with a proven track record of leadership and success.
• Protecting the taxpayer and controlling city spending. As a councilmember, I have fought hard for fiscal responsibility, accountability, balanced budgets, and no tax increases. I am a firm believer in conservative local government that is dedicated to transparency and protecting the taxpayers. We have held the line on taxes and found ways to do more with less. I will continue to do so as mayor.
