Steve Cavender
for Arlington Mayor.
Honest Leadership &
Positive Results.
“After decades of calling Arlington home, Ann and I don’t just live here — we believe in this city and care deeply about its future. Recent tax increases have strained families, small businesses, and our local economy, and we can’t stand by while that continues. That’s why we’re stepping forward to lead.
I’ve built a business in Arlington, so I know what it takes to create high-paying jobs and drive economic growth. As a homeowner, I also understand the financial pressure people feel as taxes and fees rise year after year.
Arlington deserves energetic, fiscally responsible leadership that puts residents and taxpayers first. It’s time to bring these priorities back to the Mayor’s office.”
