Fighting for a Fairer Quincy

Dave Jacobs believes in:

Fair Taxation & Fiscal Responsibility

• End developer tax giveaways – No more 40-year tax breaks for luxury projects

• Tax large-scale housing like businesses – Commercial rates for commercial profits

• Property tax relief for seniors – Let our elders age in place with dignity

Repealing Politician Pay Hikes

• Mayor’s salary which jumped 79% to $285,000

• The raise was based on fallacious logic from a report purchased by the city.

• If not repealed, this will make the mayor’s salary higher than Boston, New York, and nearly all major city mayoral salaries.

• City Council pay increased 47% to $43,500

• I’ll vote to repeal these raises and tie all future ones to union employee increases—no more, no less

Religious Neutrality in Government: 

I’m Catholic, but I believe in a government that represents everyone. Public buildings like our Public Safety HQ should remain religiously neutral.

Common-sense Government Reforms

• Term Limits

• Public service should be a calling, not a career

• Term limits for Mayor, City Council, School Committee & Boards

• Charter Review Every 10 Years

• Quincy’s government should evolve with its people

• I’ll introduce legislation to regularly review and reform the City Charter

“Why I'm Running…”

“I’m running to represent the neighborhood that raised me. Our community deserves leadership that puts residents before politics, honesty over ambition, and transparency instead of backroom deals.”
