Ferguson · For Mayor · Hilton Head Island
The Residents
First Mayor.
A vision built with residents, not behind closed doors. Dave Ferguson is running for Mayor to put Hilton Head Island back in the hands of the people who live here.
The Vision
Seven pillars.
One promise.
Put Residents First
Easier to participate, be heard, and understand your government.
I'll make it easier, not harder, for residents to participate, be heard, and understand what's happening in their government. Residents will be welcomed in Town Hall, not treated like they don't matter.
Get Decisions Moving
Clear priorities, real timelines, and accountability.
I'll gut the current Strategic Action Plan. It's too much and doesn't allow for focus on the immediate needs of the Town. I'll set clear priorities, timelines, and accountability so major issues like the LMO, transportation, and public safety don't continue lingering for years.
Strengthen Public Safety
Prevention and protection everywhere residents live and move.
I'll focus on prevention and protection across our roads, pathways, beaches, parks, neighborhoods, and business districts while strengthening our partnership with BCSO. I'll begin a process to examine if we should consider increasing public safety measures locally.
Bring Council Together
Consensus built before issues reach the dais.
I'll communicate with council members early, share information, listen to their ideas, and work to build consensus before important issues reach the dais. I won't control them, set their agendas, or embarrass them. I'll empower them.
Demand Accountability for Taxpayer Dollars
Every dollar with a purpose and a result you can see.
I will lead a process to ensure every significant expenditure has a clear purpose, measurable results, and appropriate public oversight.
Protect What Makes Hilton Head Special
Balanced, responsible growth that protects the island.
I'll lead balanced responsible growth with protecting our environment, neighborhoods, quality of life, and the character of our island.
Prepare Hilton Head for What's Next
Plan now for the changes already on the way.
I'll lead efforts to start planning now for the economic, technological, transportation, workforce, and infrastructure changes coming over the next four years and beyond.
I can't promise we'll always agree.
I can promise you'll always be heard.
