Jason's Platform

Hi, I’m Jason Hoover, and I’m running for New Castle County Council President. Our county has something incredibly special, something I call "green gold." These open spaces are our community’s heart, offering high recreational value just minutes from urban centers. But they’re under threat from relentless development. I’ve led thousands in the fight to protect our parks and open spaces, and now I’m running for office to champion a smarter, more sustainable path. Join me in this mission to preserve our precious green gold and build a brighter future for New Castle County.

Preserving Open Spaces and Promoting Smart Growth

Jason Hoover is dedicated to the preservation of New Castle County’s open spaces and the promotion of smart, sustainable growth. His commitment to open space preservation stems from his belief that these areas are not just vital for recreation and community well-being but are also essential for economic prosperity. Jason led the successful "Save The Valley" movement, which mobilized over 10,000 supporters to protect Beaver Valley from development, securing it as part of Delaware’s first and only national park. His vision extends to creating more parks and green spaces, which he believes are critical for attracting residents and fostering a strong sense of community​​​​​​.

Economic Development through Sustainable Practices

Jason’s platform emphasizes the integration of economic growth with environmental stewardship. He advocates for the redevelopment of underutilized areas, such as old commercial centers and office complexes, to preserve green spaces and revitalize existing infrastructure. By focusing on denser, mixed-use developments, he aims to create walkable communities that reduce reliance on cars, decrease infrastructure maintenance costs, and enhance the quality of life for residents. This approach not only supports small businesses but also ensures long-term economic stability by making New Castle County a more attractive place to live and work​​​​​​.

Building Strong, Inclusive Communities

Jason is passionate about fostering communities that are diverse, inclusive, and connected. He supports policies that promote affordable housing, ensuring that people from all socioeconomic backgrounds can live in New Castle County. Jason believes that creating walkable, vibrant neighborhoods with access to parks and public spaces is key to building a sense of place and community resilience. His campaign is driven by the idea that smart development and open space preservation are not mutually exclusive but can work together to create a thriving, sustainable future for all residents​​​​​​.

By prioritizing these initiatives, Jason Hoover aims to make New Castle County a model of sustainable development and community well-being, ensuring a high quality of life for current and future generations.
