About the candidate
From Ashley's campaign site:
Ashley Swearengin is a dynamic leader for Fresno. She leads by building coalitions of experienced and capable experts to solve problems in honest and thoughtful ways.
Swearengin has dedicated nearly her entire professional career to improving Fresno and the San Joaquin Valley of California. As the Director of Community and Economic Development at Fresno State since 2000, she works each day to improve the lives of Fresno families by working to create jobs and educational opportunities.
Overview of the issues
- Jobs & Education
- "Jobs and education are like dominos: low education rates lead to high unemployment and poverty rates. High unemployment and poverty rates lead to high crime rates. The most effective way to lower the City’s crime rates and keep them down is to improve employment and educational opportunities in Fresno." (read more)
- Safe, Quality Neighborhoods
- "As a mom of two school-aged children, perhaps nothing is as important to me as having safe, quality neighborhoods in my city. The reality that thousands of moms and dads in Fresno go to bed each night worrying about the safety of their kids is heart-wrenching and infuriating to me." (read more)
- Effective & Responsive Government
- "As Mayor, I will work alongside city staff and our customers to accelerate those efforts and make sure they are completely brought to fruition. I will be tenacious in my efforts to help the City of Fresno develop a national reputation for excellence in customer service." (read more)
- Regional Leadership
- "I’m extremely encouraged by the regional leadership that is starting to emerge in the San Joaquin Valley. From Bakersfield to Stockton and every place in between, citizens from the private, public, education, and non-profit sectors are starting to work together on the big regional issues that are impacting us all like air quality, water, transportation, and economic development."
