Issues & Priorities
Tim Donahue believes Douglas County government should focus on practical solutions that strengthen our communities and improve the quality of life for residents.
Accessible Mental Health
Mental health services should be available to those who need them. Tim supports creating partnerships that expand access to residential mental health assistance and provide a welcoming and supportive environment for individuals seeking help.
Affordable Housing
Strong communities require housing options that families can afford. Tim supports working with local partners to rehabilitate neighborhoods and expand affordable housing opportunities.
Common Sense Property Valuations
Families should be able to stay in their homes. Tim supports fair and transparent property valuations so homeowners are not burdened with unnecessary increases that drive up monthly housing costs.
Accountability in Tax Dollar Spending
Residents deserve transparency and accountability in how their tax dollars are spent. Tim believes county government must clearly demonstrate where funds are going while ensuring essential services like infrastructure are properly maintained.
