Strong business community

Bellevue is a city that builds with businesses, not one that actively works to drive them away. The thriving tax base provided by Bellevue businesses is how we can afford a robust public safety infrastructure, beautiful parks, crucial transportation improvements, and more. Paul understands that without a healthy business community you cannot have a high-quality city.

You only need to look across the lake to see what happens when a city becomes hostile towards the business community: a downtown that is empty with businesses closing or leaving in droves – many to Bellevue. Paul supports a thriving business community that will bring in more high quality jobs and workers.
