Enoch Candidate Overview

Robert A. Rasmussen, running for mayor-unopposed
I have served as Enoch City Mayor for the past five years and have previously served on the Enoch City Council. I am well acquainted with municipal style budgeting, as that is what I do for the Five County Association of Governments where I am employed. I am interested in helping make the community in which we reside a good place to live and raise families. My wife Brenda and I have raised 5 children in Enoch and have lived here for 32+ years.

Rick K. Bonzo, running for a four-year city council seat
The opening for Enoch City Council is an excellent match for my qualifications.  My background includes two decades of public service.  I previously served for twelve years as an Enoch City Councilman and two years as Enoch City Mayor.  For the past 2 1⁄2 years I have been serving on the Iron County Water Conservancy Board, and was recently appointed to serve on the Iron County Natural Resource Board. I have been a member of the Utah National Guard for 37 years, serving in Iraq for approximately 18 months.  I am also a member of the Elks Lodge, Lions Club and VFW. It is my desire to work on water issues facing Enoch and work toward some commercial businesses to help increase our sales tax revenues. I have an investment in Enoch and I will work hard to serve Enoch residents and help make our community a great place to live.


Steven M. Clarke, running for a four-year city council seat-incumbent
I have lived in Enoch for thirty years.  I love our community.  The people of Enoch are great volunteers.  They help each other.  Over the years I have served on the Enoch Planning Commission, the Enoch Board of Adjustments, and now on the City Council for the last four years. I have tried to do my best for the citizens of Enoch. I currently have responsibilities with the Shade Tree Committee, the Library Board, and sewer and refuse departments. I support a rural Enoch and support animals where allowed. I support open space and would like us to continue to enjoy the advantages of larger lots.  I think we need commercial development. I
would like to continue to serve our community.  Please get out and VOTE.


Robert G. Dotson, running for a four-year city council seat-incumbent
I have been associated with Enoch City government for 5 years as a City Council member since 2006, Board of Adjustments member 2005, Vice-Chairman of Enoch City Community Development Agency, Chairman of Enoch City Health and Wellness Advocacy Group, President and Founder of the Southern Utah Chapter Old Spanish Trail Association, and have assisted with many committees.  My experiences in business combined with my responsibilities in municipal government are valuable assets to Enoch as policies, procedures, and ordinances are created and implemented.  With a strong sense of duty and a complete belief in the values taught me by good family, scout leaders, friends, and God, I believe I am the choice best suited at this time for Enoch City.   




Jennifer Hunter, running for a four-year city council seat 
I have served on the Enoch Recreation Board since it’s inception. I am currently employed at Southern Utah University in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and was this year’s recipient of the Classified Staff Distinguished Service award. I earned my MBA in 2009. I am also involved with several other SUU committees and I am actively involved with recycling and sustainable new energy sources. I was instrumental in the placement of recycle bins at the Enoch City yard and would like to see additional recycling opportunities in Enoch. I have served as a parent advisor to the Enoch City Youth Council. My family and I moved to Enoch in the summer of 2001 and are active in religious and scouting activities and, in any available time, I enjoy gardening and learning about preparedness.


Stephanie Brown, running for a two-year city council seat
I have lived in Enoch since 2006 and recently bought a home here as we are going to raise our family here.  We have three girls, ages 8,6 and 4.  I work as the office manager/paralegal for Jeffery Slack a criminal defense attorney in Cedar. I am running for office because I like to be involved and help form the community where my kids will grow up.  Additionally, I feel that young families are a majority group in Enoch but are not being represented adequately. I have served on the PTA for Enoch Elementary and as a classroom mom where I gained a healthy respect for teachers and all the work they put into our kids.  My legal experience has given me the knowledge of the law and the ability to explain it to people in easy to understand terms. I support green energy, education and investing in the future whether that means providing more businesses for Enoch or providing more activities for families. My website with additional information and contact information is voteforstephaniebrown.blogspot.com.  I welcome emails and any questions you may have so you are an informed voter and I know what issues you want addressed.


Gary D. Wilcken, running for a two-year city council seat-incumbent
My name is Gary D.Wilcken and I am seeking your support for re-election to the City council for a two-year seat. I have, for the last two months, filled the seat vacated by Justin Gray’s resignation. I have enjoyed being involved and I have taken the job seriously and desire to continue. I have lived in Enoch all my life and consider this a great place to live and raise a family. I have a great wife and six grown children, the youngest starting at SUU this fall. My vision for the City is to have it remain a great place to live by keeping taxes as low as possible and doing what we can with what we have. That’s how we live at my home and I don’t think the
City (meaning the Government) should be growing while the rest of us are in tight times. I am concerned that the culture we live in increasingly wants to depend on government for everything. I believe that to be a folly and detrimental to our well being. I believe that we can control what happens here at the local level. Not only can we, we must, so when we want something that increases the size of government, whatever it is, we must weigh that against the loss to our pocket book. What we, as citizens, want WE must pay for.  I consider myself a champion of the conservative values and desire to continue the fight.
