Val Gould for New Castle County Council President

About Me

I am running for New Castle County Council President because I’d like to utilize and leverage my privilege to create more affordable housing, strengthen historically neglected communities, and further protect the environment through more sustainable and equitable land uses.  

My Values

  • Affordable Housing

    Creating more housing that is affordable for those in minimum wage jobs, whether they want to rent or own.

  • Strengthening Communities

    Ensuring land use decisions are designed to benefit historically neglected communities, rather than harming them.

  • Protecting Natural and Cultural Resources

    Addressing flood-prone and heat island areas by restoring river/stream water quality through riverbank re-establishment and reducing erosion.

  • Sustainable and Equitable Land Use

    Centering environmental justice and historically neglected communities while addressing issues like erosion and flooding that will continue to be exacerbated by climate change.
