Fighting for the West Side

As a candidate for Salt Lake County Council in District 2, the importance of the West Side holds a special place in my heart, reflecting not only my love for this vibrant community but also my years of dedicated service. The west side embodies a rich tapestry of diverse cultures, resilient individuals, and a strong sense of community spirit that I have had the honor of contributing to and being a part of for many years. Through my various community initiatives and years of service, I have witnessed firsthand the unique challenges and opportunities that define the West Side. I am proud to be a West Sider, and my commitment to fostering positive change and addressing the specific needs of this district is unwavering. If elected, I will continue to work tirelessly to enhance the quality of life for all residents on the West Side, ensuring a brighter and more prosperous future for our community.

Fiscal Discipline and Taxation

As a candidate for Salt Lake County Council in District 2, I am committed to promoting fiscal discipline and efficient government. I believe in identifying and eliminating wasteful spending to ensure that taxpayer dollars are utilized efficiently and effectively. My approach involves conducting thorough reviews of the county budget to pinpoint areas where resources can be allocated more judiciously.

Youth Opportunities

Fostering a sense of civic responsibility and engagement among our youth is a priority for me. Here are five initiatives I propose to empower and involve the younger generation in shaping the future of our community:

Civic Education and Engagement

Bolstering civic education and engagement to strengthen the foundation of our democracy is a priority for me. To achieve this, I propose a comprehensive plan: Town Hall Meetings and Community Forums: 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. Educational Programs on Local Government: Implementing educational programs focused on local government structures and processes will empower constituents with the knowledge necessary for active participation in decision-making processes. Partnerships with Schools and Community Organizations: 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. Utilization of Technology for Accessibility: 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. Volunteer Initiatives and Community Service Projects: 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.

Law Enforcement

I believe in supporting our law enforcement. A critical function of a county is to provide law enforcement and jail service. Ensuring the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office and Jail have the resources they need to enforce the law is of great importance to me. I will meet with the Sheriff on a regular basis to discuss the needs her department and officers face.
