Democratic mayoral candidate, Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, announced part of his “bold” list of ideas for Madison on his website Monday.
According to Resnick, his priorities include making the city a leader in digital innovation and ending homelessness.
The young candidate stressed his involvement in Madison’s Digital Technology Committee, which recently finalized plans for a city-wide accessible LTE/4G network for all Madison residents.
“If our city is committed to promoting equity and economic opportunity, we must … close the digital divide that leaves too many Madisonians without affordable or reliable access to the internet,” Resnick said in his plan.
Another focus includes halting chronic homelessness in Madison by the end of 2016, and in the meantime, improving the sheltering system through partnership with the Homeless Services Consortium and Continuum of Care agencies.
“Matching resources and supporting projects designed to provide permanent housing to the chronically homeless is in the best interest of all Madisonians,” Resnick said in the release.
