Lander is a diverse community. What it takes to keep our eclectic community moving forward in the best interest of the broader community includes an understanding of our history, what made this town what it is today, and what is needed in the years to come. During my years in Lander, I've worked across many channels, volunteered with countless groups and activities, and served in a variety of roles that have helped me understand what kind of leadership is needed. I'm a good listener, a lifelong learner, and I deeply care about our community.
I do. Given the complex and sometimes challenging formulas used to determine municipal budgets, taxes like this are not just essential for safety and quality of life; they are funds coming from those who will benefit from the services. Without this funding stream, many key aspects that keep the lifeblood flowing for Lander would be cut off.
We need reasonable and sensible zoning codes- codes that suit where we are now (housing crisis for many) and what the future surely dictates. When the Black Addition neighborhood was built, it was in response to a shortage for workers who drove our economy. We need to keep that kind of thinking front and center if we're going to sustain this wonderful community. While our population hasn't changed much in number over the decades, the types of workers and homeowners have.
It's safe for all users, walkable, bikeable, and a place you'd call home six days a week and twice on Sunday. Our community should be a place where transparency is apparent; differing opinions are heard and valued, and where folks can move town, contribute, and plot a course for their future.

I am running after multiple individuals approached me and asked me to run. However, I was not going to because my father was on hospice. After his passing I decided to run because I want to be part of the solution for a community that my family has lived in for generations. I have served in other groups in Fremont County, and I was born here and feel Lander has great potential that isn't being reached by our current local government.
This question is an interesting one because I feel that all three go to creating a livable and vibrant community. While they are also safety issues for our community. I feel strongly that all three should be ran as a business and should have oversight when receiving tax dollars
I think that we need to figure it out as a community, how to create more affordable and safe housing for those who want to live in Lander. Individuals from here who are starting out can't afford housing, which is causing them to move and take their talents with them. This also puts stress on local businesses to fill and keep employees because of housing costs and lack of quality housing.
I feel a vibrant and livable city starts with the people who live here and knowing your neighbors and supporting them. A community that takes care of each other and talks to each other as human. Being able to let your children play and go to the park as the grow up with safety and no fear. Supporting our older neighbors who may not have local family. Having a strong Main Street and shopping local.
