How will you help Georgetown recover from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic?
JD: Our small businesses suffered a lot during the coronavirus pandemic. Single parents and working families were also hit hard. And many of us citizens longed for answers, or just communication. As Mayor, I will work to revive small businesses through creative relief programs. I will partner with non-profits to help families get caught up on life. And I will be available, serving as that strong leader who makes tough decisions, when you need it most.

How will you help Georgetown recover from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic?
JS: Our main priority is the preservation of our local businesses, not just because they are owned by and employ our friends and neighbors, but also because they are the backbone of our local economy. We must continue to grow our sales tax base if we are going to maintain the level of services expected by our community and keep our property taxes low. Our small business grant programs were a small step, and innovative ideas like outdoor dining will also help.
