THE HARRISON PLAN

A practical agenda for the people who call Harrison home.

Nine clear commitments to keep Harrison safe, strong, accountable, and unmistakably Harrison.

HARRISON PLAN PILLAR

HARRISON STAYS HARRISON

Harrison grows for the people who live here — never past them.

We will put it in writing — laws, ordinances, and zoning that ensure Harrison cannot change unless its residents actively push for that change.

What Jason will advocate for

Apply the Harrison Growth Standard to every major project — in public, in writing, every time.
Zoning and building decisions with real public input: published notice, real meetings, and a record of what changed because residents spoke.
Protect neighborhoods from displacement — growth that replaces locals isn't growth.

“I will have failed if I make Harrison $10 billion but every resident gets priced out and displaced in the process. Harrison is not a company or a spreadsheet. It is a people.”
— Jason Watts

What residents should be able to track

Growth Standard adopted and applied publicly
Every major project's public record published
Neighborhood stability tracked and reported

Law and order

A town where parents don't have to think twice — doors unlocked, kids outside, law enforcement backed without apology.

Every man, woman, and child in Harrison should feel as safe at 2 in the morning as they do at 2 in the afternoon. We will not tolerate lawlessness and we will ensure your safety is funded first.

What Jason will advocate for

Back Harrison's police and firefighters publicly and without hesitation — no anti-law-enforcement politics in city hall.
Public safety first in every budget Jason signs.
Support renewing the existing quarter-cent public-safety sales tax and campaign for it to pass this November — it is not a new tax; it is the same one Harrison has already been paying. If voters say no, close the gap through grants, efficiencies, and city revenue instead — not new taxes on residents.
Back our officers and firefighters with the support and equipment the job requires.
Keep public spaces maintained, welcoming, and cared for.

What residents should be able to track

Police and fire fully funded
Public-safety funding secured before the 2027 gap arrives
Response times reported publicly

HARRISON JOBS FOR HARRISON PEOPLE

New employers hire Harrison first. Our anchor employers stay anchored.

Headhunt businesses that support our shared values and want to change the world starting with our town — and every city incentive comes with local hiring in writing.

What Jason will advocate for

Personally recruit employers who fit Harrison — all day and all night.
The Harrison Compact: long-term written agreements — stability and certainty from the city, local-hiring commitments with clawbacks from the business.
A formal retention plan for Harrison's anchor employers, so our biggest job creators stay for the next fifty years.
One fair rulebook for the biggest plant and the smallest shop on the square.

What residents should be able to track

Local-hire commitments signed and published
Anchor-employer retention plan in place
Local hiring results reported annually

HARRISON PLAN PILLAR

Patriotism

Harrison stays proud — of its country, its history, and the generation coming next.

We will not spend our time apologizing for America. This is the greatest country to ever exist. We will be proud of it, and we will be proud of those who built it. This town must be governed by someone proud of this city and this nation. There is no time for lukewarm patriotism.

Our ancestors built the most prosperous nation in human history — and we will celebrate that. Our history will be honored. The American story is what allows us to wake up every day and chase the American Dream.

A country must be proud of its past to ensure it believes in its own future. And it is absolutely critical that we ensure our future generations believe in the future of this country.

We must continuously inspire our youth by reminding them our country was founded by young adults in their twenties who signed the greatest governing document to ever exist. You don't need decades of experience or anyone's permission to build something great. Without young patriots, this country would not exist — and that spirit is due for a revival. It starts right here in Harrison.

What Jason will advocate for

Celebrate America openly — city time goes to building, not apologizing.
Honor the American story truthfully — it's what lets us chase the American Dream.
Teach Harrison's young people the founding story — a nation built by young patriots in their twenties.
No lukewarm patriotism in city hall — govern proud of this city and this nation.

NO DATA CENTERS. HARRISON IS FOR PEOPLE.

Harrison's resources serve Harrison people.

Nobody votes for a data center — they just show up, eating land, water, and power, tanking property values, and giving almost nothing back. Not in Harrison. Our resources are for our people. When I am mayor I will not allow a single data center to be built within our city.

Massive server warehouses swallow farmland, strain the water supply, and drive up power bills for every family around them — and hand the town back almost nothing: a handful of jobs and a constant hum. That's not growth. That's extraction. Harrison's land is for Harrison families. Harrison's water is for Harrison homes. Harrison's power is for Harrison businesses.

What Jason will advocate for

Fight to zone out large-scale data centers through the public ordinance process.
Protect the grid and water supply for residents and local business first.
Put it in writing — land-use protections adopted in the open, not decided behind closed doors.

What residents should be able to track

Land-use protections adopted through public process
Utility capacity reserved for residents and local employers

HARRISON PLAN PILLAR

RAISE THEM HERE. BRING THEM HOME.

Harrison kids leave for great schools and come home to careers worth coming home to.

Free coding classes, City Hall internships, real mentors — we'll invest in our children, and give them a reason to bring their degrees back home.

What Jason will advocate for

Free coding classes for Harrison kids on the best no-cost tools in the world — taught by people who build software for a living, starting with Jason himself.
A City Hall internship program so students who want into government get real experience — starting day one.
A speaker series that puts real builders and business leaders in front of Harrison students.
A scholarship pathway through a Harrison community foundation — so our brightest can reach the best schools in America and have a reason to come home.

What residents should be able to track

First coding cohort launched
City Hall internships running
First scholarships awarded

THE HARRISON FUND

City revenue grows without new taxes on Harrison families.

The city's money should work as hard as you do — Harrison's future funded by Harrison's balance sheet, not by squeezing residents.

What Jason will advocate for

Put idle city cash to work — lawfully, conservatively, and in public.
Manage the city's existing dollars with discipline — every dollar accounted for, published, and put to work for residents.
Bring in outside money — grants and partnerships that fund Harrison's future without asking Harrison families for a dime.
Help seed the community foundation that powers the scholarship pathway.
Not one plan in the Harrison Fund involves new taxes or higher costs for Harrison residents. Period.

What residents should be able to track

Treasury and investment policy published
New non-tax revenue reported annually

OPEN THE BOOKS

Residents can see where every public dollar goes — without filing a request to find out.

Every dollar published where anyone can see it. Plain-English budgets. No digging through PDFs.

What Jason will advocate for

Publish city spending, contracts, and decisions where anyone can read them.
Plain-English budget summaries a normal person can follow.
Decisions documented and explained — because we decided to participate.

What residents should be able to track

Plain-English budget published every year

FAITH, FAMILY, FREEDOM — OUT LOUD

Harrison remains proud of its Christian heritage and traditions while city government serves every resident fairly.

First and foremost, I am a Christian — and I will never hide it. Truth, stewardship, service, and dignity for every resident.

What Jason will advocate for

Recognize the service of churches, charities, volunteers, and civic institutions.
Preserve Harrison’s history and honor the people who built this community.
Protect religious liberty, free expression, and equal treatment under law.
Lead with the biblical values of truth, stewardship, responsibility, and service.
