The “Short” Plan
The “Short” list of priorities. Great leadership begins with listening to those you serve.
Addressing your kitchen table issues
Families shouldn't have to choose between paying the mortgage, buying groceries, buying school supplies or taking prescription meds. Kim Short will champion practical solutions that expand housing options, keep taxes affordable, and make Prince William County a place where teachers, first responders, young families, and seniors can all afford to call home.
Preparing the next generation
Today's students are tomorrow's leaders. Kim supports investments in public education, career and technical education, and partnerships that equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in their careers, and life, in tomorrow's world.
Managing the age of AI and data centers
The data center industry is expanding rapidly, and its growth must be managed with common sense. Data centers are important to the technology economy, but a simple “yes” or “no” is not enough. Large-scale development can place significant demands on the electric grid, water resources, roads, and surrounding communities. The industry should bear the full cost of the utilities and infrastructure upgrades its projects require, rather than shifting those costs to residents. Responsible growth means protecting the environment, preserving community quality of life, and locating facilities an appropriate distance from homes, schools, and other sensitive uses.
Moving in Prince William County
Whether you're commuting to work, getting your children to school, or running daily errands, reliable transportation matters. Kim Short will advocate for safer roads, smarter traffic solutions, improved connectivity, and infrastructure investments that make travel easier for everyone — making the difference between dinner with your family or endless windshield time.
Strengthening public safety
A commitment of support to our first responders is a non-negotiable necessity and one of many pillars to sustaining a safe and prosperous community. Kim will invest in prevention and emergency preparedness to ensure public safety assets keep pace with our growing community.
An office that answers.
Constituent service is not a courtesy, it is the job. Every phone call and email needs to be answered, every concern logged, assigned, and closed, and lastly, every status or outcome needs to be communicated. Your government should work for you, not the other way around.
