Why Are You Running For Spanish Fork City Council?
I am proud that I grew up in Spanish Fork and have watched the city grow properly. Those forefathers who founded our city of "Pride and Progress" are my mentors and I will continue to follow in their footsteps to keep this community a clean, safe and beautiful place to live. I'll continue to strive to keep our utilities and property taxes the lowest in the county. I'll continue to see that our employees are properly trained in their fields as our city grows. I love working along with the residents of Spanish Fork, taking pride in this city and helping serve one another, watching out for one another and getting involved in community action. I will continue to be there when citizens have concerns about our city. I believe that as Spanish Fork grows we can continue to have a "small town atmosphere". I would love to continue to serve you.
