I will prioritize solving our community's transportation, water, sewer, and power issues before taking on any other projects. I will work to end Eagle Mountain's Downtown Project and new City Hall, and divert those funds towards infrastructure.

I will drastically expand the Parks and Rec budget and we will be known as Utah's Recreation City. There is nowhere close to recreate in Utah or Salt Lake County. Rather than attempting to do what every other city already does, we will set ourselves apart. By focusing on making our city a unique destination, in time so many people will want to live and visit here, businesses and especially the hospitality industry will flock here.
Infrastructure ensured, I will then work to make Eagle Mountain's vast network of Mountain Biking Trails some of the best in the West. We will also introduce horse-specific trails, and build more walking/running/bike trails that connect our entire city. We will foster a culture of health in Eagle Mountain and become a shining example of what healthy, happy, involved citizens are all about.
In partnership with Shopfest Utah, we will build a state of the art outdoor market infrastructure so that people from all over the state will travel (expeditiously on our awesome new roads) to purchase the best produce, meat, snacks, and crafts from the best small businesses that Eagle Mountain has to offer! The Eagle Mountain Farmers Market will become the most renowned in the state, and the dollars will flow directly into the pockets of our citizens! Tourists will come for the markets, and stay for the recreation.
I will happily spearhead a mentorship program for preteens and teens in our communities. On Friday nights (yes Susan, date night is now a go! Tell your husband to put on his socks), we will hold events for our youth to come listen to some of the best minds that I am able to schedule. We will have activities, dances, BBQs, Movie Nights, Scripture Studies (led by various leaders of different religions), small group mentorship, entrepreneurship classes, and all the people who contribute will be people that your children deeply admire and they will want to participate. Plus there will be freeze dried candy so they will come. And the mayor will be policing to make sure we are not increasing our population in a detrimental way.
In partnership with the Utah County Sheriffs Office, I will begin a School Shooting QRF (Quick reactionary force) program that will empower trained, experienced, veterans of combat both at home and abroad to be able to engage a school shooter within 3 minutes of being notified. These men and women will swear and oath to trade their lives for the chance that they might save one extra child. There will be no standing behind corners putting on hand sanitizer as gunshots ring out. These beasts will sprint towards death with a smile on their faces and God in their hearts! Our children are our most precious asset and we must protect them AT ALL COSTS.
Other ideas that I would like to plant during my time in office are the following:
I don't believe anyone should profit for political or religious service. I will take a partial salary to partially cover my living expenses and rely on my small businesses to make up the difference. But I will work for you as a full-time mayor. I will pledge $100,000 of my $119,800 salary to various needed projects in the city.
One idea I had is opening up an Organic only, dry goods food bank in our community. People who are actually needy and hungry, don't mind cooking with ingredients from scratch. Don't come looking for soda or snack cakes, there won't be any available.
Should I leave office with a 90% approval rate and ya'll want to gift me Golden Eagle Peak for a future house and helicopter pad, I wouldn't complain. JK! We are gonna put a flag on top of that baby. Mark my words!
