• Madison’s finances, including the limits placed on state aid and other city revenues and the city’s growing debt
• Addressing affordable housing for a growing population
• Implementing Bus Rapid Transit while coping with the challenges facing Madison Metro
• Strategies to ensure public safety, from the right staffing and role of the police to investment in violence prevention
• Promoting sustainable economic development in the city
