WPBF 25 News coverage on Politics<\/a><\/p>\nMartin said one of her top priorities is continuing to invest in the city while protecting the quality-of-life residents have come to expect.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy main goal is to continue to move the city forward, while protecting our quality of life that our residents expect, and that means we\u2019re going to continue to invest in roads and infrastructure. We\u2019re going to maintain our commitment to public safety,\u201d Martin said.<\/p>\n
Giordano said he wants to bring a different approach to city hall, with a focus on spending, transparency and adding more amenities for families.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe currently don\u2019t have a downtown area. We don\u2019t have a children\u2019s museum. We don\u2019t have a water park or an aquarium. So those are all things that I\u2019ll be looking into, bringing to our community for better services,\u201d Giordano said.<\/p>\n
Strazzeri said fiscal responsibility is at the top of his list, along with improving roads, drainage and overall quality of life.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo goal number one is obviously the fiscal responsibility, ensuring that we\u2019re spending the people\u2019s money the right way. But then it goes right into fixing these roads immediately and the drainage and then improving the quality of life for everyone,\u201d Strazzeri said. <\/p>\n
