Sadek's Leadership Plan
Sadek is running for City Council because he believes in building a safer, stronger, and more sustainable community for every Troy resident. Sadek's key priorities that will define his leadership can be grouped into three main areas:
​
1. Public Safety
2. Infrastructure
3. Quality of Life
If elected, he will work alongside the mayor and fellow council members to champion the needs and priorities of Troy residents. That means ensuring that Troy city management actively seeks out the best solutions by learning from other cities, engaging with expert organizations, and leveraging innovative strategies.
Once the best solutions are identified, securing funding becomes the next critical step. Sadek will work to maximize support from the state and federal government while also exploring creative funding options, such as municipal bonds and grants, to make Troy's vision a reality.
But that’s not enough—true progress requires constant collaboration between city leadership and the Troy community. That means open communication with residents, businesses, city departments, and local organizations to prioritize initiatives and ensure that every voice is hear

If I earn your vote, I promise to give my full commitment to this process—because only by working together can we make Troy the best city in Oakland County and one of the finest in the entire nation.
So, I need your support. I can’t do this alone. I need your vote, your ideas, and your engagement. Together, we will make Troy stronger, safer, and more prosperous for all.
