Why Are You Running For Spanish Fork Mayor?
I have the opportunity to represent the city on a number of important councils. It is imperative that Spanish Fork have a voice in these forums. I have developed a positive relationship with the Mayors of the valley and can hit the ground running. There are several pressing issues that still need attention such as transportation, electrical and water issues, as well as being fiscally responsible. I would appreciate your trust and confidence by electing me Mayor so that I can see them through to completion.
