A preview of the District's in the 21st Century
Washington, D. C. in the 2lst Century can be a growing, dynamic society
creating new opportunities for our citizens, Whether you look at the rise
of cultural diversity and economic development, the signs are clear the
that the District is on the brink of a new era of technological innovation
and economic opportunity. New citizens, companies and technologies are
arriving that will transform our city and create new opportunities for
well paying jobs and innovative solutions to old problems.
Tony Dominguezs strong leadership and vision of the future are the
right combination to lead the District into this century.
As Washingtonians we work not simply to benefit ourselves, but to
provide a better life for our children and grandchildren. New ideas and
new technologies offer new opportunities for better lives. But, to provide
for progress tomorrow, we must also respect the traditional values of
family, freedom, faith, work, and respect for law.
Tony Dominguez's program fir the 2lst Century includes:
EDUCATION
We must insure that no Washingtonian is left behind because of
inadequate education. New technologies are an invaluable tool for teachers
in their sacred task of imparting to our children both our shared heritage
as Washingtonians and Americans, and the skills they need to take
advantage of new opportunities. We must attract the best possible teachers
and then keep them. We must identify the best programs and techniques and
expand them.

Work diligently to provide police and firefighters more training and
tools. Enact legislation strengthening victims' rights, strong repeat
offender laws, truth in sentencing, establish a front line leadership
program of regular meeting with law enforcement officials, community
organizations and crime victims to promote coordinated anti-crime
strategies to make the District a safer place, to live, work and raise a
family.
