India Walton on Economic Development
https://indiawalton.com/issues/
India will ensure that resources are invested in both the basic needs of our most vulnerable residents and the tools that create a vibrant and sustainable local economy. She will focus on cooperatively-owned businesses, green jobs, and democratic control of land instead of trickle-down policies and subsidies that have increased income inequality.
Short-Term Policy Goals (First 100 Days):
- Commit to full Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) compliance for city-funded projects.
- Prioritize small and minority-owned local businesses through the RFP process to increase successful bids for small, local contractors.
Near-Term Policy Goals (6 Months to 1 Year):
- Add new procurement criteria and set measurable benchmarks to grant more contracts to locally-owned, independent businesses, minority and women-owned businesses, and to buy more environmentally sustainable goods and services.
- Make appointments based on expertise, diversity, and inclusion, rather than political patronage.
Long-Term Policy Goals (1 to 4 Years):
- Work to establish a public bank. India will advocate for this at the state level, and ensure it is a priority to invest our city dollars in a public bank that invests in our community— not in fossil fuels or carceral institutions to make profits.
- Establish a comprehensive and transparent participatory budgeting process.
