Rivera's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[4]

Public safety

Excerpt: "With increased force capacity, our police department can increase foot patrol routes and focus on community action policing while building stronger relationships with neighborhoods."

Excerpt: "We must bring back the theft, drug and traffic units in order to more efficiently fight crime in our city."

Economic opportunity

Excerpt: "As the state shifts its costs to Anchorage taxpayers, we must ensure that property taxes do not skyrocket. That means looking at other forms of taxation to make sure all -- including non-Anchorage residents who use Municipal services -- are equitably paying for the services we rely on."

Transportation

Excerpt: "More and more of our city’s residents are walking, biking and using public transportation than ever before. As someone who has relied solely on public transportation for much of my time in Anchorage, I understand how critical this infrastructure is. We must continue to build a 21st century city that is multimodal and accessible to all."

Homelessness

Excerpt: "When it comes to the issue of homelessness, as I learned working in the Berkowitz Administration, we must employ innovative strategies: Reentry into society and the workforce, while costly, is much cheaper than perpetuating the cycle of homelessness which is straining taxpayers, nonprofits and public safety officers. That’s why I’ll support creative solutions – like worker programs, Housing First, and new concepts like tiny home villages – to address and end chronic homelessness."
