Although Preston has no experience in town government, he said he wants to compete against the Holocaust revisionist. “I just want to do the right thing by the people,” Preston said.ImprovementWhen asked about his letter to the editor in 2017, Preston told the Island Packet he stands by all five reasons the island is ruined: lack of things to do, gated community exclusivity, secretive town government, “lack of character” of U.S. 278 and the absence of affordable housing on the island. He said he sees these as issues that still confront the community, but that “there’s always room for improvement.” EnjoymentIn his candidacy for mayor, Preston said he wants to acknowledge that the mayoral position is more of a figurehead than people think. He said that town manager Steve Riley “really runs the show” and makes more money than the office he has filed to run for. “Everyone comes to Hilton Head to have fun,” Preston said. “I feel like the island has become stagnant and set in our ways.”Bike PathsInstall solar-powered lights for all island bike paths_fa095f2c-b30f-11e8-a3d3-b093f8f4b8791[To be named][To be named]_fa095fa4-b30f-11e8-a3d3-b093f8f4b879[To be named][To be named]_0861af04-b462-11e8-920c-42ed5fbabdf6_ffe3c8d0-b461-11e8-b63d-d3ea5fbabdf6[To be described][To be determined]Rental BikesRequire lights on all rental bikes_fa096012-b30f-11e8-a3d3-b093f8f4b8792[To be named][To be named]_fa096080-b30f-11e8-a3d3-b093f8f4b879[To be named][To be named]_0861b21a-b462-11e8-920c-42ed5fbabdf6_ffe3c8d0-b461-11e8-b63d-d3ea5fbabdf6[To be described][To be determined]Speed LimitsImplement stricter enforcement of speed limits_fa0960ee-b30f-11e8-a3d3-b093f8f4b8793[To be named][To be named]_fa096166-b30f-11e8-a3d3-b093f8f4b879[To be named][To be named]_0861b328-b462-11e8-920c-42ed5fbabdf6_ffe3c8d0-b461-11e8-b63d-d3ea5fbabdf6[To be described][To be determined]RecyclingStart an island-wide recycling program and continuing the no-straw program year round_fa0961d4-b30f-11e8-a3d3-b093f8f4b8794[To be named][To be named]_fa09624c-b30f-11e8-a3d3-b093f8f4b879[To be named][To be named]_0861b418-b462-11e8-920c-42ed5fbabdf6_ffe3c8d0-b461-11e8-b63d-d3ea5fbabdf6[To be described][To be determined]Beach ParkingCharge tourists for beach parking while beginning a free-parking program for residents_fa0962c4-b30f-11e8-a3d3-b093f8f4b8795Tourists[To be named]Hilton Head Residents[To be named]_fa096332-b30f-11e8-a3d3-b093f8f4b879[To be named][To be named]_0861b5c6-b462-11e8-920c-42ed5fbabdf6_ffe3c8d0-b461-11e8-b63d-d3ea5fbabdf6[To be described][To be determined]Dog ParkBuilding another dog park on the south end of the island_fa0963b4-b30f-11e8-a3d3-b093f8f4b8796[To be named][To be named]_fa09642c-b30f-11e8-a3d3-b093f8f4b879[To be named][To be named]_0861b788-b462-11e8-920c-42ed5fbabdf6_ffe3c8d0-b461-11e8-b63d-d3ea5fbabdf6[To be described][To be determined]_0861b88c-b462-11e8-920c-42ed5fbabdf62018-09-09https://www.islandpacket.com/news/politics-government/election/article216660120.html_0861b97c-b462-11e8-920c-42ed5fbabdf6OwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
