Where does Shane stand on the issues?
Shane Krauser is one of the country’s strongest advocates of personal freedom, which is one of the most relevant and significant issues for the people of Gilbert.
He holds the following positions:
Pro-Family:
Shane and his wife have raised their six children in Gilbert. He will work to facilitate a family-friendly environment that will ensure Gilbert is one of the best places in the country to raise a family.
Pro-Law Enforcement:
Shane understands the importance of a safe community and the government’s primary function to “secure the rights” of the people. With rising crime in Gilbert, the town needs a leader who has law enforcement experience, who will work with the Town Manager and Police Chief to produce highly-qualified and well-equipped peace keeping officers. Gilbert deserves the best officers the law enforcement community has to offer.
Pro–Education:
Arizona’s educational system continues to suffer. Shane will be a powerful voice, together with the citizens and the town’s school board, to institute a first-rate education program.
Pro-Freedom:
Government is charged with protecting fundamental freedoms of speech, religion, assembly, self-defense, contract, petitioning the government for redress of grievances, a variety of due process protections, and many others. Shane champions those freedoms, whether it be in a town council meeting, at a protest, or in general day-to-day interactions with the community.
Pro-Self Defense:
Shane supports the Second Amendment and will work to preserve the rights of those who wish to defend themselves, their families, and other innocent individuals against criminal attacks.
Shane Krauser understands that limited government is the bedrock of real prosperity in any community. Government is not a business. Instead, it is there to protect the people, facilitate equality, and promote progress.
Shane stands for the following:
Pro-Gilbert Resident:
Gilbert needs a mayor who will listen to its residents, and Shane will be an aggressive defender of the people’s property, their hard-earned resources, and their livelihoods.
Streamlined Government:
There are two general approaches when it comes to government carrying out its duties.
One approach is: “There is a problem, so the government should fix it.” This is a terrible and inappropriate approach, as it leads to a bloated, overbroad, and overreaching government.
Instead, the appropriate approach should be: “We have a problem in our town. Is there an entity outside of government in the private sector that is best suited to resolve this issue? If so, let’s work to incentivize that entity to engage and solve the problem.”
Government is, with a few exceptions, rarely the right answer. Shane will work to ensure that government stays in its lane and only performs appropriate government functions, such as building roads, responsible zoning, and public safety.
Economic Development:
Gilbert residents are concerned about an increasing number of apartment complexes and heavy industrial businesses coming into town. Gilbert needs a mayor that will work with the town council, the residents, and developers to make sensible decisions. Shane will work with all parties to ensure that private property is protected and that the town evolves in a way that does not harm long-term growth, safety, and prosperity.
Anti-Commuter Rail System:
A mass transit system such as a commuter rail is simply inappropriate for a town situated like Gilbert.Just as important, government entities that bring about mass transit almost always lose money. If there is going to be a mass transit system, that should be brought about and proposed by a private entity who carries the risk and who cares deeply about the “bottom line.”
Shane Krauser has the fortitude to fight for the people of the Town of Gilbert, bringing the best of what we have to offer together and protect what we desire individually.

Pro-Private Property:
Gilbert is expanding rapidly. As a result, zoning and rezoning issues continue to haunt the town and impact people in significant ways. This issue is deserving of real attention by the mayor.
Shane will work to ensure that private property rights are not trampled upon and that inclinations to utilize eminent domain are virtually non-existent.
Shane will be a voice for the people and their property.
Pro-Business:
Individuals who run businesses should be at liberty to decide how to run that business and, in turn, let the marketplace reflect “good” or “bad” decisions. This is how free markets are supposed to work.
Government should protect this inherent freedom and not do things such as shut down or make it extremely difficult for businesses to thrive because of government’s controversial concerns (e.g., COVID).
Private business owners carry the risk and should be free to make business decisions. Government should, and Shane will, vigorously protect the town’s free enterprise framework.
