Accountability

Jass Stewart gives tour of City Hall to a diverse group of Brockton youth. Stewart stresses the importance of staying informed and getting involved in the community. As first-time visitors to the seat of city government, these young adults are taking their first steps in understanding how to make government work for them.

Jobs

Jass Stewart and campaign team member, Admar Semedo, discuss a vision for bringing prosperity and vitality back to Brockton's economy and to the downtown area. Though life in Brockton improved appreciably in the 1990s, unemployment, crime, and poverty levels are the highest in the area.

Education

Jass Stewart enjoys an informal summer reading session with Brockton school children at his home. Stewart's educational agenda calls for equal access to learning for Brocktonians of all ages.

Crime

Jass Stewart outlines the criminal justice system to a group of young adults in front of the Brockton Trial Court. He listens to ideas about factors contributing to the high crime rate among teens directly from those who know -- actual teens. Stewart's crime-prevention plan strikes at the very source of crime in the city through early intervention for children in high-risk environments and tougher enforcement for repeat offenders.

Ownership

Jass Stewart talks to long-time Brockton homeowners about property taxes and home improvement. As homeownership costs outpace wage increases, many residents are feeling the “squeeze.”  Stewart's housing plan helps current homeowners improve their property while supporting renters who want to become first-time homeowners.

Canvassing

Jass Stewart listens to the specific concerns of a Brockton resident as he canvasses the community door-by-door.  An effective city government of, for, and by the people demands leaders that are in touch with the lives of every Brocktonian.
