Providing tax credits for small businesses including local businesses to help them be part of the community, expanding on job-training programs to help train youth including workers to help prepare them for the economy, and working while encouraging businesses to hire women, minorities, and people with disabilities are great ways to improve the economy.   Your approach on finding ways to improve education like fund special education to help students with disabilities get help on learning, provide after school programs to help students get help on their assignments or allow them to participate in recreation programs,  and support the need for more arts including diversity programs to help teach people about the need for diversity is common sense.  On the environment, I like on how you are continuing to work on improving protecting the environment by supporting funds to create renewable energy projects to help reduce addiction to oil with gas, providing businesses including housing with energy-efficient products to reduce high energy cost while reduce pollution, and implementing funds to help clean water resources including parks to help make them safe for people to use.  Another thing that I like about your work as Mayor of Las Vegas, Nevada is how you provides funds to help preserve with fix historical sites including different attractions to improve tourism while make learning including diversity a better place, push for more bike paths including ix sidewalks to make them safe for pedestrians to use, and continuous working on finding ways to reduce homeless rates by expand homeless shelters.
