Maintain our Quality of life so that our young people will want to return to this community, a community with job opportunities, places to interact, housing for varied interests, peaceful public spaces, and a safe place to raise their families.

Manage our resources wisely and continue to pay attention to the details. We must make sound business decisions, both with Lakeland Electric and the City.

Reestablish our local economy so that businesses can prosper and create more jobs for our citizens. We need to be constantly vigilant in keeping our downtown vibrant because it is the heart of our community.

Preserve our city’s heritage through responsible redevelopment. Growth is inevitable, but we need to be proactive and make sure that it fits within our sense of community.

Address the multiple needs of our older citizens and support safe neighborhoods, public transportation and access to medical care, parks, recreational spaces, and the arts.

Experience counts I have spent an entire career helping businesses make sound decisions and I have served four years on the City Commission. I have the right background to ask the right questions and to make the right decisions.

I need your help and support to do this. Please vote for Edie Yates on January 26th.
