People ask me, “why do you want to be a.member — of the City Council?” With two local businesses, young children, and a busy schedule, it is no wonder they ask. My response is, | want to be represented. | feel our City Council needs to be better connected with our children, families, and businesses. Our council needs diversity.

While he grew up near Seattle he spent his summers in Heber working on his grandfather’s farm and watching _ the community grow. As the grandson of Walt and Jean Montgomery, Brent seeks to continue his family’s tradition of public service to the Heber community. I believe a government should be responsive and responsible toward its citizens. | am dismayed when I hear long time residents of Heber saying that they no longer vote because it won’t make any difference. This indicates to me that the government of our community is no longer responsive to the needs and concerns of the common citizen and that it is failing to take a responsible course of action regarding issues such as growth and fiscal management. Our city council is the level of government closest to the people and as such should be the most responsive and the most to the people; the first needs and concems.

I believe that city council should be. responsible in and for their actions. They should have the courage to govern. for the people not for the money interests. Growth is inevitable, however that growth can be better controlled and Lastly, our city council should be fiscally responsible to the community. The members should strive for wise use of the managed for good of the community and its people.
