We need to look into expanding our local economy through bringing in and creating more industries to provide the necessary careers. I’m not talking about someone to clean rooms or run a hotel. I’m talking High-Tech and Future Tech careers in manufacturing like Astro Engineers, technicians, inspectors, Project managers and office staff positions just to name a few. Most of these would be high paying salary career positions and not just another $18/hour low end and entry level job. I’m looking to ask places like Boring and SpaceX to bring fabrication plants to build for example robots, spacesuits, components for interplanetary and interstellar ships. I would also propose to build Arizona’s first Geothermal plant. Lastly, I would like have the United States Space Force’s “Star Fleet” 1st base to be here in Coconino County. Now those will be long lasting high paying careers. I want to build an all-encompassing robust economy for Coconino County and all of northern Arizona that will last for generations. We have so much potential here that can create an economic boom for Coconino County well into the 22nd Century. This way we can have families afford to live and thrive here
Jobs
I want to bring industries here to bring real career jobs for generations to Coconino County. Careers that you can support a family on. These industries would come from both existing and new industry businesses.
- New industries would be Volcanic Energy, Reclamation, 3D Manufacturing, IA computing companies, and Space industries.
- Invite other companies here like Synnex, Nvidia, Westinghouse, and more SpaceX.
- Work with Congress to open a US Space Force aka Star Fleet training base with BLM land and the land that NASA already uses in the county.
Education
- Bring back Trades and new high-tech Trades starting from 6th grade through to Community College. Education for these careers need to start early.
- Work with the Superintendent’s office to move Northern Arizona University to refocus towards Astro Physics, Applied Physics, Astronomy, Astronautical Engineering and Software Engineering. This is so we can prepare for tomorrows industries today. This will give Coconino County a competitive advantage to attract these industries while everyone else is trying to play catch up.
Homeless Veterans and Homeless Americans
- An untapped resource is all of our brothers and sisters that served us and protected us all from the wolves at the door. We owe them everything. I believe in hand-ups not handouts. But veterans come first then everyone else except the illegal aliens afterwards. How can we be taking care of others when we can’t even take care of our own people.
- This would involve a multi-lateral approach with NGO’s and charitable organizations like Tunnel to Towers to get these services provided.
- I want to get them the help and skills to get them off the street and out of forests and reintegrated to our communities. From legal assistance to financial, life, and career skill training building not only for self-sufficiency but for success.
- Housing and training services for them in either dorm complexes or KOA mini home complex.
Taxes and Regulations
- I want to cut taxes, but until I get the budget balanced in order. We’ll have to satisfied with freezing taxes at current levels. Until we can find alternative revenues than taxes like property taxes. You own your home not the government.
- I believe that government has no business dictating or micro manage either your business or life. Therefore, I will look at what regulations can be cut to that end. We need common sense and easy to understand regulations instead of being in a language nobody other than a bureaucrat can understand. Also remove contradicting and duplicate regulations.
