As a candidate for Salt Lake County Council – District 2 on the West Side, I am committed to bolstering civic education and engagement to strengthen the foundation of our democracy. To achieve this, I propose a comprehensive plan:
Conducting regular town hall meetings and community forums will create a space for open dialogue, ensuring that the concerns and perspectives of residents are heard and addressed.
Implementing educational programs focused on local government structures and processes will empower constituents with the knowledge necessary for active participation in decision-making processes.
Foster partnerships with local schools and community organizations to integrate civic education into curricula and outreach efforts. This approach aims to cultivate a culture of civic responsibility from a young age.
Harnessing technology, such as online surveys and social media platforms, will enhance accessibility and engagement. This approach allows constituents to conveniently voice their opinions and stay informed about local governance.
Finally, establishing volunteer initiatives and community service projects will encourage residents to actively contribute to the improvement of their neighborhoods. This fosters a sense of shared responsibility and pride in local governance. Through these initiatives, constituents can become more informed, empowered, and actively involved in shaping the future of Salt Lake County.
