  1. Committed to keeping taxes low
  2. Renewed focus on quality of education
  3. Continue to attract new jobs to the area
  4. Improve our roads and infrastructure
  5. Full and absolute transparency
  6. Work to create safer communities
  7. A fresh outlook on limited government

The 51-year-old has noted in the past that he could entertain doing appearances here and there for WWE during his tenure as mayor. However, his mayoral responsibilities will remain his primary concern while he’s in office.
