SANJAY'S VISION FOR SUGAR LAND

BUILDING THE SUGAR LAND OF THE FUTURE, TOGETHER.

As a candidate for Sugar Land City Council, Sanjay's mission is to deliver a city government that is transparent, efficient and accountable - with leadership that listens and puts residents first.

​

He believes in a community where every resident has a voice in the decisions that shape their lives, city resources are managed effectively, and development is guided by long-term thinking. That future begins with six key priorities:

​​

TRANSPARENT, RESPONSIVE LEADERSHIP​

• Actively seek resident input on major city decisions, such as large infrastructure projects and developments like power plants

• Foster regular, open communication between city leadership to build trust and two-way engagement

• Make city leadership accessible with minimal closed-door decisions

​

EFFICIENT AND RESPONSIBLE GOVERNANCE​​

• Review current city expenditures and cut wasteful spending 

• Protect taxpayer dollars and streamline city operations by focusing on high-quality, core city services

• Reduce the tax burden on residents by controlling expenditures, focusing on services that matter most to residents, and attracting businesses to cover a larger portion of the tax burden
   

MAINTAIN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

• Ensure a thoughtful, long-term view on development planning

• Oppose harmful developments without resident input. Residents moved into Sugar Land for a variety of reasons - and we shouldn’t be changing the character of our city without resident input

• Always prioritize keeping our neighborhood clean, green and sustainable
   

​ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JOB CREATION

• Eliminate unnecessary red tape that stifles investment, and leverage smart tax incentives to attract businesses. We want to make it easier to open and run businesses in our city to provide residents with high-paying jobs. 

• Support small businesses and local entrepreneurship 

• Foster increased resident-business communication so businesses can understand the needs of residents and we learn what type of businesses can thrive here
   

SMART INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FUTURE-READY CITY

• Invest in digital infrastructure such as improved cellular connectivity and fiber networks. We need to provide businesses and the next-generation of homeowners with high-quality connectivity.

• Continue investing in infrastructure and technology for our emergency services - police, fire, EMTs, and more. They are the backbone of our city and we need to make sure we provide them with what they need to keep our community safe and secure. 

• Explore and invest in mobility options for residents - such as increased mobility options to popular destinations in Houston/Sugar Land such as the Airport, Galleria, etc. Increasing commuting options will help bring traffic under control and make our city more livable. ​

• Upgrade public facilities and amenities to keep pace with a growing and modernizing community.
   

INVESTING IN COMMUNITY SERVICES

• We need to expand and bring efficiency to the animal shelter’s operations. We need to make sure they are staffed with people who are truly animal lovers, and they have the right KPIs such as improved adoption rates. Pets are residents too - and it’s our responsibility to care for our animals. 

• Continue investing in our parks - we are blessed to be living in a green area, and we need to keep it that way! We want to support programs that enhance wellness and livability.

• Always maintain a family-friendly lens to whatever we do in Sugar Land - this is an inclusive, family-friendly city, and we should keep it that way. 

​

BUILDING THE FUTURE, TOGETHER​​

​Sugar Land is a city with immense potential, and together, we can shape a future that prioritizes safety, efficiency and innovation - all while keeping the needs of our residents at the heart of every decision.

Sanjay looks forward to earning your trust and support, and working together to make our city even better!
