Over the past few years, even here in Colorado Springs, we've seen how emergency declarations can disrupt lives and livelihoods—sometimes with little local input or consideration for long-term consequences. 

Small businesses were forced to shut their doors while large national chains stayed open. Local families, workers, and business owners were left with more questions than answers.

As Mayor, I will ensure that our city government never takes a one-size-fits-all approach that favors corporations over our own residents. I will fight for transparency in decision-making, protect the rights of local businesses, and ensure that public safety never comes at the expense of personal liberty or economic fairness.

We must restore balance, strengthen local accountability, and make sure that city policies serve all citizens—fairly, equally, and responsibly. 

It's time to return the focus to the people and work together toward one shared goal: 

Making Colorado Springs the greatest place to live, work, and visit.

Too many candidates say "I am going to fix this" or "I am going to do that". Then they roll out promises with no explanation of how it gets done.

Here is the truth. A Mayor does not succeed by pretending he knows everything. A Mayor succeeds by listening to the people who keep the city running every day and then holding the system accountable for results.

Since when does an outsider walk into City Hall and magically know more than the department heads, frontline workers, and career staff who have served this city for years. I will not fake expertise. I will ask the right questions, learn fast, and use the experience already inside the building.

But listening does not mean letting anything slide. Some departments are performing and some are not. I will set clear standards, measure outcomes, and make tough calls when needed, including replacing leaders who are not serving the public or who cannot deliver.

This is not only about internal operations. It is about the people we serve. 

City government must reflect what residents want and expect, not what insiders find convenient. At the same time, the public deserves the full picture. When people do not know what is happening, trust dies and rumors fill the gap.

As Mayor, I will keep residents informed with real transparency. Clear goals. Clear numbers. Clear timelines. When we miss, we will say it. When we succeed, we will prove it.

This is how we change the way we govern. We listen, we lead, we hold people accountable, and we deliver results.

Homelessness and crime are rising fast in Colorado Springs, and our city is at a turning point. 

In 2025, the homeless population jumped by 52%, and the number of unsheltered individuals doubled in just one year. Meanwhile, crime rates remain well above national averages, with increases in violent crime and property crime—including one of the highest auto theft rates in the country.

This isn’t just a crisis it’s a warning sign. Left unchecked, this leads to declining neighborhoods, increased fear, and long-term damage to our city’s future.

We cannot sweep the problem away. Simply removing encampments does not end homelessness. The root causes—mental health issues, addiction, and lack of access to stable housing and support—must be addressed directly and with urgency.

As Mayor, I will lead a coordinated effort involving businesses, churches, nonprofits, law enforcement, and city departments to:

• Provide transitional housing with wraparound rehab and mental health services
• Hold city programs and partners accountable for real, measurable results
• Enforce the law while supporting recovery and reintegration
• Restore public trust with transparency, safety, and stability

A safe city is a thriving city. I will work to ensure Colorado Springs remains a place where families feel secure, businesses can grow, and no one is left behind.

Tig is running as a proven leader, not a politician.
