Her opponent says he is a "budget hawk," but he raised your taxes when he was mayor.
When Steve Brown was mayor from 2002-2005, he increased the millage rate by a whopping 22.4%, raising taxes on our residents.​
Below are the charts comparing the millage rate under each candidate's term as mayor. Mayor Kim Learnard has LOWERED or maintained the millage rate each year. She fights for the taxpayer.​

What we pay in property taxes is determined by two things—the millage rate (set by the city) and the assessed value of your property (done by the county). Our property values have risen in the last few years, but under Mayor Learnard, the millage rate has not—she actually lowered the millage rate twice. Mayor Learnard has taken action to protect taxpayers from the fiscal effects of rising property assessments. By opting the city into a new law, HB581, our 2026 property value assessments are frozen and future increases are capped. Mayor Learnard fights for the taxpayer.
