His focus is on attracting new businesses and supporting existing businesses. He believes that economic development is a cornerstone of creating a strong, vibrant community. He wants to bring new businesses to the city and create opportunities for residents. **Summary of John Morada’s Policy Platform:**

* **Balanced Budget:** Morada emphasizes the importance of a balanced budget to ensure responsible spending and sustainable economic growth.

This statement reflects a clear understanding of the complexities of economic development and the need for responsible fiscal management. It highlights the importance of striking a balance between ambitious growth aspirations and the need for fiscal prudence. Economic development is not just about building new infrastructure or attracting businesses. It’s about creating a thriving ecosystem that fosters innovation, entrepreneurship, and job creation.

He emphasizes his business acumen because District 3 includes the Fallon East Economic Development Zone, approximately 73 acres intended for commercial and industrial development east of Fallon Road, and a portion of the Dublin Boulevard extension project, which proposes to extend the street 1.5 miles from Fallon Road to North Canyons Parkway in Livermore. Another of Morada’s priorities lies in improving public safety. One element he’d like to address relates to traffic. He became all too familiar with the dangers of it when his daughter was hit by a car on her way to Fallon Middle School. “This is unacceptable because the driver was on her phone whilst kids were in the crosswalk,” he said in a statement.

He believes that early exposure to these vehicles can help children develop a positive attitude towards them and make them more comfortable with them. This interest stems from his personal experience with eBikes and eScooters. He has used them extensively in his daily life, finding them to be a convenient and efficient way to travel.
