Community Focused Policy Driven

Jason Hoover is running for New Castle County Council President with a bold vision for sustainable growth that prioritizes common-sense development practices and the preservation of open spaces. As a lifelong Wilmington resident and leader of the successful "Save The Valley" movement, Jason has demonstrated his commitment to protecting the county’s natural assets. He argues that current development practices, which lead to sprawl, strain utilities, increase commute times and taxes, and ultimately harm our communities, must be replaced with sustainable, long-term strategies that benefit all residents.

Jason advocates for a new approach to parks and open spaces, treating them as the jewels that make our county an attractive place to live, work, and invest in small businesses. By focusing on redeveloping underused urban areas instead of sacrificing our precious green spaces, he envisions communities where people are inspired to stay, raise families, and build vibrant neighborhoods. Jason’s commitment to rejecting developer money underscores his belief that our communities should be planned by the people who live in them, not by wealthy developers. He is running to ensure that development serves the public interest, not private profits.
