	Ramey works with the community on important issues New Hope Ministries Pastors Ed and Mike talk about issues such as substance abuse. These are important and need to be addressed.
	Ramey holds the line for Voter Intent "I’m already having a developer call me to see if his land can be designated as blighted. I don't think that the voters' intent was that 40 or 50 percent of our land mass would be exempt from this,” Ramey told Colorado Public Radio.
	Ramey proposes a short term moratorium on High Density Ramey acts on behalf of Lakewood citizens concerns -- Pause just the residential density growth for 6 months and FIX THE PROBLEMS instead of just talking about it.
	Supports Responsible Development with Community Input Ramey supports Responsible Development with community input Ramey listens to and acts on behalf of the citizens and attends many citizens' meetings and events each month to understand WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS.
	Ramey Fights to Protect Open Space Ramey worked with the community to successfully save the open space at 2090 Wright Street. This effort, In 2016, permanently added 4.7 acres to Hutchinson Park and helped preserve a neighborhood's way of life.
	Supporting Stober Elementary Ward 1 Council members Ramey Johnson and Charlie Able spoke at the School Board Meeting in support of Stober Elementary.
	Ramey Supports Local Business Ramey supported the move of Caboose, the world's largest train store, from Denver to Lakewood. Ramey supports all of Lakewood's local businesses.
	More Open Space Needed The taxpayers voted to keep Tabor refunds and of the initial refund amount, $8.5 million was identified for open space. City Council has met and started the discussion regarding potential land acquisition. My focus is equity throughout the city and purchasing the most available land with the money at hand. Due to decreasing sales tax revenues, the city will not see TABOR refund this year.
	Ramey: We Must Be Good Stewards of Taxpayer Money As stewards of taxpayer money, this issue is near to my heart. Your money must be spent as if I were writing checks from my own individual check book. In consideration of the current diminishing sales tax revenues, budget cuts are imminent, but must be done strategically. Above all we need to maintain a high level of public safety. Our Lakewood Police Department can not be compromised.
	Strategic Growth Initiative ie. "200" This citizen-initiated ballot issue passed July 2nd. Even though it was the "vehicle" for allocation of reasonable residential building permits, it was perceived as far more. This initiative represented years of citizen concern and outcry regarding the pace of high-density residential buildings. You, the people wanted input into the future growth of our city, and your neighborhood and most importantly you believed no one was listening, so you took matters into your own hands. My first priority as Mayor is to restore trust that you really do have someone in office who listens, cares and knows we are there to serve YOU. I will ignite a sense of hope that we truly are Lakewood Strong.
	Ramey on Lakewood's Trash Situation There are many ideas and thoughts about trash collection and because there is a personal financial component, I voted to put it on the ballot for the people to vote. This issue is bigger than the 11 votes from council.
