Our Campaign
Priorities
01
Community Collaboration
Community collaboration is necessary to build trust and contributes to a sense of cohesion within our city. By implementing initiatives that encourage relationship-building between residents and the council, city government can function proactively and efficiently.
02
Transparency & Accountability
Our city must find new and diverse ways to empower residents to share their voice and foster a transparent decision making process. Transparency breeds a level of trust and respect that ensures city government remains accountable and accessible.
03
Responsible Growth
Elko New Market is home to long-standing members of the community in addition to new families who moved here for our small town feel. We need to be serious about balancing our city’s traditions and roots while also supporting responsible growth.
