DeMarco is campaigning on continuing his work to creating a livable, walkable city that attracts and retains people of all ages and businesses. He says he is “very excited” to be on the ballot for re-election to city council in 2014.

“Continuing to build on the strategy this mayor and council set for itself in 2012 is imperative for the future of the city. This includes growing our economic base through smart economic development and redevelopment, as well as through strong financial stewardship,” De Marco said. “This foundation helps strengthen our business community and allows us to provide high quality services to our citizens.”
