14 years ago, my family chose to move to Cedar City because we wanted to raise our family in a university town that valued it's history, rural setting, recreational opportunities, arts, and education.
Why do you want to be a part of the City Council?
We are currently experiencing difficult times. During these times we must be financially responsible and limit government intervention. The city should work on attracting new business and seek better paying jobs while promoting tourism and services through use of all city facilities.
When you think of Cedar City 5 or 10 years from now, what do you want to see?
I am confident that if we continue to be conservative and plan well thru these difficult times we will be well positioned when the market improves. As we complete the capital improvements that are currently underway and aggressively promote tourism, we will thrive and prosper together.
What do you see as your top priorities if you are elected?
I will work to complete the aquatic center and ball complex that are currently under construction. I will promote the marketing and usage of these and all other city facilities. I will continue my work on the trail system and encourage health and wellness as a community. I will actively work to increase city revenue through new tourism. I will support the concept of Green Living through the 3 R's: Reduse, Reuse, Recycle.
Share your thoughts about the following:
CATS -
A critical service to provide transportation to those in need, however it must be utitized by more members of the community to justify the cost.
The New Aquatic Center -
An amazing facility that will stand for 30+ years as a reminder of the high value our community places in children, families, health, wellness, vision, and recreation.
Jobs -
Critical during these challenging times to retain and promote higher paying jobs while supporting and enhancing our current small business community.
Parks and Recreation -
I feel strongly that we need to maintain, enhance, and complete our existing parks and outdoor facilities and not develope more at the present time. We are working to complete a trail loop around Cedar City and feel this will encourage health, wellness, mobility and safety for our community and visitors (tourism).
Infrastructure -
We need to create a master infrastructure plan to help the city be better prepared for growth in the future.
Festivals or other activities -
I am an advocate of any well organized and planned festival or activity. The city should be a tremendous support to those volunteer groups who want to create new activities. I would like to see more diversity in what we are supporting. There is a huge market for childrens sporting tournaments, dancing competitions, and musical competitions.
Why should a person vote for you?
I will continue to be a strong voice for children and families in Cedar City. I have proven myself as a strong community advocate through service such as Park Discovery, Veterans Park, the Cedar City Rotary Club and SUU Board of Trustees. I believe a strong and vibrant community is built on the foundation of strong, healthly and thriving families. As we look to the future we must continue to provide a community that assists in developing strong families.
