You're right. I've covered a bunch of different city councils, town boards, county boards, and state legislators. I've seen many different approaches and many different responses to criticism. Jordan has an impressive group of elected officials, opponents in the election, activists, volunteers, and caring citizens. That local involvement is on the uptick is going to be great for Jordan. Keep talking.

Thoughtful response, Kyle. Thanks.

You know despite having opinions that differ at times from decisions made, I have a hard time believing that anyone currently serving does less than their best for the town. I often attribute my misgivings in a decision to a lack of information on my part.

I imagine it's a lot of work, certainly it consumes time we should just be thankful for this from them. If we really have differing opinions we should voice them, and when the time comes file and run for a seat.

I would run to be a voice for the people. I would
do my best to make sure city funds were used for things
that are needed not just for the sake of spending money.
I would work to address the issues of unsafe intersections that
exist throughout town. As an elected official, I would find
opportunities to entertain input from residents to learn what
is important to them.

If you were running for a city council or mayoral position, why would you run? If elected, what will be your top focus,and how will your expertise, work experience, or talents help achieve your goal?
