I am running for Mayor of Riverton because I believe the current leadership is not addressing key community issues such as public safety, tourism, and economic growth. My courses of study in college are business, accounting, Elementary Education, and Phycology. I've have owned two startup businesses in Virginia. A mayor's job is about listening to people, making decisions, building teams, solving problems, and being accountable to the community. Nobody starts with experience as a mayor. "It's time for a change".
I have many goals for Riverton. We need a Juvenile Detention Facility to help with the crime in the city. Our police officers need to be paid a more competitive wage. Tourism can help fund these programs along with state and federal grants. By encouraging more family friendly businesses to come to the city and more fundraisers on the weekends during the summer we can help make Riverton a destination stop on their way to Yellowstone or one of our other great cities or towns.
Lowering the crime in the city, economic growth, and improving the quality of life for the citizens of Riverton.
Riverton is listed as the worst place in Wyoming to live. The crime in the city is the biggest reason. When I moved here over 16 years ago the city was much different. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. We as a community have lost the prosperity we once had do to the oil fields closing down and the Covid virus. I know that by working together we can make Riverton bigger and better.
