TOWN HALL AND TOUR HIGHLIGHTING ELECTION INTEGRITY AND SECURITY
FARMINGTON – The Davis County Clerk is hosting a Town Hall and Tour to discuss the integrity and security of local elections. Concerned citizens, as well as those who would just like to gain a deeper understanding of the election process, are invited to attend.
The Election Town Hall and Tour starts at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025, in Room 303 of the Davis County Administration Building at 61 S. Main Street, Farmington. There is no cost to attend, and pre-registration is not required. Virtual attendance is offered at meet.google.com/vex-kzmx-ukp.
The Clerk will present information about the many layers of security built into Utah’s election process, including updating voter registration rolls, safeguarding election computers and software, maintaining a chain of custody for ballots, verifying voter identification, and auditing results. Opportunities for voters to be involved with election security will also be discussed, from tracking your own ballot to observing audits. The event includes a tour of Davis County’s Elections Center.

Her career has been dedicated to making sure that every voice is heard and every perspective is understood in the decision-making process.

I’ve worked with community organizations throughout Utah such as: Your community connection, the Utah food bank, work for food, the blind school, and community adult reading.
I have worked in the business world as a stockbroker, retirement specialist, and small business manager. I know the challenges to get things done right with notable skill, quality, alacrity, and celerity.

BETH CHILD
I’m Beth Child, Bountiful City Councilwoman, mom, grandma, and dedicated volunteer. For 25 years, I have supported Bountiful schools, organized local events, and worked to build strong community relationships. Currently, I serve on the city council and as a member of the Bountiful Community Service Council, organizing service projects and connecting residents with resources.

DAN BELL
I am running for Bountiful City Council and ask for your vote. With 30 years of experience in the financial services industry as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and financial advisor, I’ve helped individuals and companies achieve their financial goals. You can trust that the experience and knowledge I have gained will be used to make a difference for you!
A core principle that has shaped my professional and personal life is: “Live within your means.” This applies to both individuals and governments. This means the government must operate as efficiently and effectively as possible to limit the tax burden on citizens. It is also important for governments (and businesses) to identify key areas where investment is required to maintain the high level of service residents have come to expect.
I am asking for your vote so I can represent you as a member of the Bountiful City Council.

For the past seven years, Kate has been actively involved in local government serving on the Bountiful City Council.

CENTERVILLE CITY COUNCIL
GINA HIRST
Centerville has always been home for me, and I am committed to preserving the small-town character that makes our community unique. I serve on the Centerville City Council and actively apply nearly 30 years of experience as a licensed civil engineer. My career has included work with the Utah Division of Water Resources and Horrocks Engineers, where I developed expertise in water and infrastructure planning. On the Council, I use this background to evaluate projects, secure funding, and make sound, forward-looking decisions for our city. My priorities include maintaining fiscal responsibility by balancing budgets, pursuing grants, and leveraging state and federal resources while being conscientious about impacts to residents. I am also focused on making smart, long-term investments in roads, utilities, and water resources that prepare Centerville for the future. I work to manage growth carefully while protecting our family-friendly feel, and to support recreation, arts, parks, and trails that strengthen our community.
LUANNE HUDSON
I am Luanne Hudson and I am eager to serve on the Centerville City Council. I have lived in Centerville for 32 years. Now semi-retired, I was born and raised in Davis County. I graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in journalism and worked for decades in TV, radio, newspaper, corporate communications and education. I have many hobbies including skiing, gardening and grandchildren. I am fascinated by nature, history and science. I grew up with the idea that, in America, all people are created equal. Unfortunately, unaffordable housing and wages that do not keep up with rising costs mean many of our children and grandchildren cannot afford to raise families in the great city of Centerville. I am running for City Council to continue the legacy of Centerville as a place where working class families can thrive.
Rick Bangerter, lifetime Davis County resident, is currently retired with deep love for Centerville where he and his wife, Sheryl, have raised five children. Rick’s professional career includes work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, 35-year owner/operator of Rick Bangerter Roofing Inc, and 11 years as a local Facility Manager for the LDS Church. He was valedictorian of Viewmont High (1970) and earned University of Utah bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Rick’s service includes three LDS missions, one as a Brazil Mission President, and many other teaching and leadership roles within the LDS Church and BSA. He’s previously served on the Centerville City Council (1998–2002) and has been both a County and State delegate.
A conservative Republican, Rick is running to ensure open, accessible city government and balanced representation. He aims to strengthen collaboration between local businesses, citizens, and the city, and to reflect and maintain the values of Centerville’s conservative community.
SPENCER SUMMERHAYS
CENTERVILLE MAYOR
I am running for reelection of Mayor of Centerville Utah to continue the great quality of life that we have. Here are some of the pressing needs:
Expansion of I-15: UDOT has been a good partner and has solicited input from the city and the residents of the city in various ways. Construction is set to begin in 2027 with the biggest impact to us being a new on/off ramp.
Housing needs: I feel the needs of Centerville should lean heavier toward housing that encourages people to want to stay. That is how a safe city is built.
West part of the city: The area between I-15 and Legacy Highway. How we zone for this and what we have in that area will be critical.
Water: As you read this construction is underway for the replacement for one of our water tanks. We are doing something about it. No information available
FARMINGTON CITY COUNCIL
LAVERNE SCHRAEDEL
I’m a native of Utah, born into a large family. I have a large family, primarily raised in the DC Metro area. We have 12 adorable grandchildren. We love Farmington! I’ve studied the US Constitution as it was, is, and will be and will lean on that knowledge when serving Farmington. I support and encourage faith, liberty, happy family, and community living. I’m committed to listen, understand, and advocate for the people of Farmington. There’s confusion about the Founders’ intent for separation of church and state. Clarity around that will bless Farmington. It’s a crucial time to unite to heal our land (2 Chron 7:14) based on those sound principles which have upheld our nation for centuries. I support small businesses. I advocate transparency and loyalty in spending your tax dollars. Zoning will be a focus for me when navigating growth and protecting our liberties.

For four years I have served on the Farmington City Council. I love Farmington, and I’m thrilled to be seeking re-election.
During my term I have served as the Council liaison for the Development Review Committee (DRC), Communities that Care (Central 3 CTC), the Historic Preservation Commission, Youth City Council, the Parks, Recreation, Arts, and Trails (PRAT) committee, and multiple departments and subcommittees.
Some of my favorite projects have been, the purchase of the Rock Mill, fiber optics with no city bond, new 16-acre park, westside fire station, and preservation of historic homes.
My husband, Jeremy, and I are parents to seven children. I love that Farmington is a safe place to raise my family.
I have participated in city government without any personal agenda; rather, I am a mother, wife, teacher, citizen, and neighbor. I am willing to continue to listen, learn, and honorably represent the citizens of Farmington.
FARMINGTON MAYOR
BRETT N. ANDERSON
Serving as Mayor of Farmington has been an honor. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together. We’ve strengthened our city by investing in critical water infrastructure, adding police officers and firefighters to keep families safe, and securing over $22 million in state and county funding for street improvements.
We’ve also planned for the future – revising our General Plan, purchasing the historic Old Mill, and building a new family park. We’re rolling out green waste recycling, and I remain committed to preserving our heritage while preparing for smart, sustainable growth. And, we got another Maverik.
If re-elected, I’ll keep building a foundation for long-term economic stability, listen to and amplify the community’s voice, and improve recreational opportunities, including upgrades to our pool and exploring a skate/pump track.
Farmington is more than a city – it’s our home. With your support, I’ll keep it safe, vibrant, and uniquely ours. Thank you.
JORGE QUINONES
I have been in leadership positions from my youth out of necessity. I grew up in a disadvantaged community, and I know how hard it is to build and maintain a community where citizens can grow and thrive. Our community is experiencing a lot of changes and hardships. As such, we need to build strong links of communication amongst ourselves. I want to make it my mission to share my technical expertise in making sure that citizens know what is going on in their town as it pertains to their community and well being.
FRUIT HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL

Leadership, to me, means being approachable, listening carefully, and treating everyone with dignity and respect. I want to work closely with residents and our dedicated city staff so that together we can keep Fruit Heights a place where people feel safe, connected, and proud to belong. I care deeply about this community, and I’m ready to dedicate my time and energy to serving the needs of the people who live here today, as well as those who will call this city home in the years ahead.

JEANNE GROBERG
I love living in Fruit Heights, and want to see it be the best it can be – from our parks and trails to our finance and transparency practices, and everything in between. We can improve in simple and significant ways.
I believe a Mayor should lead but not dictate; she should foster open and civil dialogue within the city and Council, and represent our interests effectively outside the city.
I am dedicated, thorough, and committed to a conservative ethic of governance. I value open and respectful expression of views, and believe every perspective matters in getting to the best solutions. Resident feedback should be sought and listened to, whether from surveys, neighborhood meetings, or other methods.
As a small city, we must shepherd our finances wisely, retain trained and highly valued staff, and prioritize safety and Fruit Heights’ quality of life.

KAYSVILLE CITY COUNCIL
I was born and raised right here in Kaysville. I attended Sam Morgan Elementary, Kaysville Junior High, and graduated from Davis High School. As a father of five, my wife and I have seen many changes in our community – especially when comparing the time our oldest son graduated from Davis High to now, as we raise our 8-year-old twins.
I’ve decided to run for Kaysville City Council because I want future generations – my grandkids included – to experience the same safe, welcoming hometown I did growing up. I believe we can grow responsibly without losing what makes Kaysville special – our charm, our local businesses, and our sense of community.
I’m running to be a voice for the people. I want to listen, build practical plans with input from residents, and follow through. Clear communication from the city, the Main Street project, and responsible housing development are among my top priorities.
As Vice President of North America Credit Unions and former CEO of a software cooperative serving over 50 organizations, I bring deep experience in leadership, strategic planning, and financial stewardship. I’ve led teams in operations, sales, product development, and implementation – skills I believe translate directly to effective city governance. In addition to my professional roles, I serve as President of a youth sports club supporting 120 athletes and have previously advised the Clinton City Youth Council. I also chair the Utah chapter of the Global Women’s Leadership Network, demonstrating my commitment to community development and inclusive leadership. After five years in Kaysville, I’ve seen firsthand the value of a close-knit community that champions local businesses, offers strong recreation programs, and prioritizes quality of life. I’m running for City Council to ensure Kaysville continues to thrive through thoughtful growth, strong support for small businesses, and continued investment in city services and community spaces.
TUCKER K. BARTELS
I’m a husband, father, small-business owner, and cybersecurity professional. Through my work in national defense and as the founder of Uinta Exterior Services, I’ve learned the importance of accountability, preparation, and serving with integrity. I’ve also spent years coaching youth wrestling, which reinforced my belief in mentorship, discipline, and creating opportunities for the next generation. If elected to Kaysville City Council, my priority is to keep Kaysville a safe, family-centered community while preparing for inevitable growth. That means ensuring infrastructure and public safety keep pace with development, protecting neighborhoods and open spaces, and encouraging smart economic growth that supports local businesses. As Kaysville continues to modernize, I will apply my cybersecurity expertise to safeguard city systems, data, and services. Cybersecurity is now an essential part of public safety and community trust. My focus is clear: integrity, collaboration, and results that strengthen Kaysville’s future.
KAYSVILLE MAYOR
Tamara (Tami) Tran is known for her collaborative leadership and commitment to transparency. She focuses on responsible growth, infrastructure, and preserving Kaysville’s unique character. Raised in Utah, she values family, faith, hard work, and civic engagement. She serves in executive positions on a variety of boards and commissions across the state and county to add her policy and leadership experience.
Tami is running for re-election to ensure key infrastructure plans and generational projects are completed. She remains focused on thoughtful economic development that enhances quality of life, honors Kaysville’s past, and supports the future residents want.
She and her husband, Ly, have been married for 35 years and have three grandchildren. As a CEO and small business owner, she understands the importance of supporting local enterprise and building a strong economy. She also hosts Happy Grateful Blessed with Tami Tran, a podcast that highlights local business owners, community members, and elected officials.
Abbi Hunt is the proud wife of a U.S. Army veteran, mom of three, and a current member of the Kaysville City Council. She’s running for re-election with a simple promise: to keep running the extra mile for you. On council, Abbi has been a consistent advocate for public safety, responsible growth, fiscal responsibility, and government transparency. Beyond city hall, Abbi volunteers on the Janet Quinney Lawson Institute for Land, Water, and Air external advisory board and the Utah League of Cities & Towns Legislative Policy Committee. In these roles, she brings Kaysville’s voice and perspective to the table. Over the past three and a half years, Abbi has fulfilled her promise to run the extra mile – working to be accessible to constituents, listen to community concerns, and facilitate solutions. If re-elected, she’ll continue to advocate for public safety, a budget that balances needs and wants, and thoughtful planning to keep Kaysville “Utah’s Hometown.” No information available

NORTH SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL
ALISA VAN
LANGEVELD
Hi. I’m Alisa. It’s been my honor to serve as your North Salt Lake City Council member for the last four years, as a planning commissioner, and as chair of the Parks and Arts Committee before that. In my professional work, I teach at the University of Utah in the Family Studies Department.
Seventeen years ago, my husband and I picked Foxboro as the place to set down roots and raise our four children. I am the only candidate and the only current City Council member who lives on the west side, this gives me a different perspective and experience.
As a Council member, I have supported sensible budgets, public safety, expanding trails, public art, and community connection in our schools and neighborhoods.
In the next four years, I will prioritize a strategic plan for the city that highlights the charm of our different neighborhoods, our big city access, and our vibrant diversity.
I’m Heidi Smoot and I’m asking for your vote for the North Salt Lake City Council. My husband Shandell and I have called North Salt Lake home for 26 years, where we raised our four children – all proud graduates of Woods Cross High.
I love North Salt Lake for its small-town charm, easy access to trails, downtown and the airport – but most of all I love the people. As a former school teacher and current member of the North Salt Lake Arts Council and Bountiful Davis Arts Council, I’ve worked to enrich our community and I want to continue that service on the city council.
I believe in preserving what makes our city special while planning for the future. I’m committed to strong fiscal responsibility, supporting family-centered values, keeping our community safe, maintaining quality roads and parks, and ensuring our city remains a welcoming place to live and raise families.
CONRAD JACOBSON
My name is Conrad Jacobson. I am the husband of one, the father of two, and the grandfather of seven. I have been honored to serve the community of North Salt Lake and its residents for many years – 10 years on the City Council, five years on the Planning Commission, (three as Chairman) – and have done so with the respect of fellow officials and city staff. I understand what City Council members can and cannot do, and have successfully occupied the position in the past. I feel that my background, experience, and other qualifications make me uniquely qualified to serve again. I believe the local government should provide basic needs for its residents: streets in good condition, public safety, utilities and sanitation services, and the expectation that these services will continue to be available at reasonable cost, and with the spending of no more of your money than necessary. conrad4council.com
I have been a resident of North Salt Lake since 2016. My wife and I chose to make North Salt Lake our home because we fell in love with the small town community presence, while also being a city full of diversity. I have served on the City of North Salt Lake Planning Commission for the past three years helping to grow and expand our community to continue leading it to its fullest potential. I am an advocate for our trails, recreational programs, revitalizing our city and bridging the gap between our homes and where the heart of our industries resides. My family and I take joy in attending city events; the annual kite festival, winter lights festival, liberty fest, food trucks, hiking and biking our tails and other activities that have strengthened and connected our communities.
GARY WIDDERS
Please write “Gary Widders” on your ballot for NSL City Council. The NSL government is wrong to host and sponsor a group that advocates for abortions, males in women’s sports, etc. Our city can provide economic security to help protect the elderly, families, women, and children. I will vote to discontinue funding of the city’s ill-conceived hobby that has cost tens of millions of dollars/gallons of water; an activity 70% of people do not like and 85% will never participate in (poll). I will prioritize that discretionary funds be returned to NSL residents with rebates. I submit for a gentle DOGE and that the savings in the millions of dollars be reimbursed to NSL residents. I value everyone’s feedback, concerns, and recommendations all the same. I would be honored to serve each of you. Elect your fellow NSL resident of 21 years, please write in Gary Widders. Thank you!

BRIAN
HORROCKS
Thank you for taking the time to become an informed voter. Twenty-eight years ago, Linda and I chose to make North Salt Lake our home and raise our four children here. It has been a wonderful place for our family, and I am committed to keeping it a strong, vibrant community. For 30 years, I have worked as a commercial property manager in downtown Salt Lake. My professional experience, combined with years of public service, has prepared me to address the challenges and opportunities facing our city. Before serving as Mayor, I spent 14 years on the City Council and six years on the Planning Commission. During this time, North Salt Lake has grown, adding the Foxboro community, the Eagleridge area, the final phases of Eaglewood, and the unincorporated north side. With that growth, I have prioritized responsible development, upgrading aging infrastructure, beautification, and expanding parks – including Foxboro Wetlands Park and the Hatch Park redesign. For more information, please visit brianhorrocks.com.
SOUTH DAVIS SEWER
Born and raised in South Davis County, I simply want to make sure that the next generation has what I had growing up. Good choices and a solid foundation laid by those before me to make it great. I want to continue on those good choices as the system ages and make sure it’s ready for the generations after.
LEN ARAVE
I was appointed last year to fill a vacancy left by my predecessor. I was chosen through a competitive process to fill the vacancy and selected as the best candidate. My background is in business, corporate finance and community service on a variety of city, county and regional boards. I previously served on this board for eight years, representing North Salt Lake as its mayor. I am a very conservative member on a conservative board. Changing EPA standards have required the district to incur significant expenses as state and federal rule changes required us to make massive improvements to our facilities. As we have struggled to meet unfunded mandates, we have always tried to be prudent with how we spend our money. As a board member, I will continue to insist that the district reduce costs where possible, while still providing excellent service to the community and our environment.
WEST BOUNTIFUL CITY COUNCIL
“Leave things (and people) better than you found them” is my motto. I want to preserve West Bountiful for future generations, including the three generations of my family that currently reside here.
For 36 years my husband, Scott, and I have served the community in many capacities. I was PTA president at WB Elementary twice. We gave hundreds of teens their first job, and West Bountiful provided many of our favorite employees.
I substitute teach here, serve as a vice-president of International Society Daughters of Utah Pioneers, and volunteer on a committee creating the first hospice in the Utah prison system.
I want to manage growth responsibly and secure a community where people, including young families, can put down roots in a safe environment. I believe my diverse experience, skillset, integrity, and temperament qualify me to listen to and represent all members of our community. Please visit julie4wb.com.
JULIE THOMPSON RICHMOND THORNLEY
West Bountiful is my home. I want to serve the community that I have called home for 30 years of my life. I have a broad academic background with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering with minors in Mandarin and Ceramics from the University of Utah. I have spent the last seven years working in Environmental Compliance at the HF Sinclair (Holly) Refinery. Through that I have sharpened my eye for detail and have seen the consequences of convoluted or unclear regulation. I believe in a measured approach, seeking to understand the different perspectives that surround issues, and seeking the best overall outcome. I want to continue the good work of past councils in improving and maintaining city infrastructure, and supporting the people that make that happen, while bringing a younger and perhaps unique perspective. I appreciate your consideration and vote for West Bountiful City Council. For more information see RST4WB.com.
KELLY ENQUIST
I have had the privilege of serving the citizens of West Bountiful for nearly 12 years. As a long-time resident, I am proud of our city’s prosperous and responsible growth and would like to continue in this direction.
My top priorities are ensuring essential departments like Public Works (streets, water, and parks) and Public Safety operate efficiently, maintain fiscal responsibility, and provide excellent service. I will continue to advocate for the renewal of the RAP TAX initiatives that have benefited our parks.
My experience includes being a council representative for the Planning and Zoning Commission, I have also been involved in key infrastructure and park improvements. Past Board Chair and current trustee of the Mosquito Abatement District, and a representative on the Arts Council.
I will continue to seek and value citizen input. I would be privileged to continue working with the council and community to address our city’s growth and challenges.
It has been my privilege to be your city councilman. My goal if re-elected is continuing the momentum we have built up making this the best city possible. The future looks great, but we have things we need to manage. It seems the state wants to take zoning away from the cities, this would be problematic in keeping the feel we have come to love about our city. It will take experienced leadership to manage this, that is why I am running again. We have worked very hard to have the best infrastructure possible, from great roads and the upgraded water system including a new well. I want to make sure we keep moving forward and improving, with your vote I can make sure we do.
WEST BOUNTIFUL MAYOR
West Bountiful is more than a place – it’s a promise. A promise of safety, community, and preparedness. Like many of you, I have focused most of my life on serving others, that’s what keeps the promise alive in our community.
As a certified member of our Community Emergency Response Team and co-author of West Bountiful’s District Emergency Preparedness Plan, I’ve helped shape policies that protect our families and neighborhoods. I’ve served on the City Council, led regional boards, and coached youth for over 20 years – all with one goal: building a resilient, united community.
Preparedness isn’t just about plans – it’s about people. I believe in leading with calm, clarity, and compassion. As your next mayor, I’ll prioritize emergency readiness, support our police and fire departments, and foster a culture of neighborly care.
Let’s prepare together. Let’s lead together. Let’s keep West Bountiful strong.
I ran for Mayor 16 years ago because I was concerned about the financial stability of the city and the aging infrastructure (water system, roads, and storm sewer system). The golf course was also losing money. With my leadership the city is now in a better financial position than it has been in its history. We have paid off three bonds. A bond for previous water system improvements will be paid off in 2028. The city is on an aggressive program to replace approximately 60,000 feet of aging and leaking water pipe and roads. I’m happy to say we have replaced about 80% of that. We are on track to fund the remainder of the old pipe and the future capital improvement needs of the city without bonding. The golf course is now self-supporting and has a fund balance of $1.2 million. Please join me in keeping West Bountiful great.
KENNETH
WOODS CROSS CITY COUNCIL
CASI GODWIN MCDONALD
My name is Casi Godwin McDonald. I was raised in Bountiful and graduated from Woods Cross High School. I attended Salt Lake Community College, Utah Tech, and the University of Utah. After getting married, my husband Scott and I built our home in Woods Cross and have resided here for 21 years. Last November I had a profound experience after I narrowly survived complications from surgery to remove a cancerous growth. The community rallied around my four children and husband with kindness and love through thoughtful words and deeds. I learned intimately that life is short and decided that now is the time to give back. I believe I can contribute to decision making that invests in the current and future Woods Cross. As a logistics supervisor for a large engineering firm I have extensive experience with problem solving and coordinating many moving parts to ensure project efficiency.
JOSEPH E. RUPP
I am honored to be a candidate for the Woods Cross City Council. Our city is at a crossroads of growth and opportunity. I am committed to fostering transparency, valuing our dedicated city employees, balancing growth with the preservation of our community’s character, and leveraging our strategic location. My campaign is built on the promise to “Do It Right!”— to govern with clarity, integrity, and a steadfast commitment to the values that make Woods Cross a wonderful place to live. For many years, I have served on various working groups and the Woods Cross Planning Commission, where I currently serve as Chair. I have worked diligently to ensure our city’s planning and development meet the needs of our community. With your trust and support, I will continue to devote my experience, energy, and vision to serving Woods Cross with honesty, diligence, and unwavering commitment.
RACHEL PETERSON
Woods Cross has been my home for 24 years, where my husband and I raised our three children. As a teacher at Woods Cross Elementary, I see firsthand the strengths and challenges of our community, and I care deeply about its future.
For more than 20 years, I’ve served in PTA leadership at every level – local, council, region, and state – working with families, educators, and policymakers to strengthen schools, guide budgets, and advocate for child safety. From helping schools navigate boundary changes to collaborating on statewide safety initiatives, I’ve learned how to listen, build consensus, and act responsibly.
I’m running for City Council because Woods Cross deserves leaders who listen first, respect every voice, and make decisions with integrity. My goal is to preserve the values that define our city – hard work, community, and care for one another – while helping us move forward with unity and purpose.
JIM GROVER
Jim Grover: A strong voice for Woods Cross for over 20 years, Woods Cross has been my home. My wife, Mindy, and I are raising our three children here, and we’re committed to our community’s future. With extensive education and experience in small business and government, I’ve spent my career helping communities achieve their economic goals. I specialize in developing strategies to attract high-paying jobs and fostering exciting new industries. Community service is a core value for my family. As a former Woods Cross Planning Commission member and current City Council member, I have a deep understanding of our city’s needs. I’m dedicated to actively participating in meetings, events, and listening to your feedback. I’m seeking re-election to continue supporting our quality of life, vibrant community events, and to ensure Woods Cross remains a place where families can thrive. I would be honored to have your vote.

Having grown up in Bountiful, and spent the past 15 years in Woods Cross, I am enthusiastic about ensuring responsible growth that serves the citizens of our great city.

As a successful small business owner, I bring valuable experience in managing resources, balancing budgets, and making strategic decisions.
