Question 3 for The Wickenburg Sun: “If elected, what do you plan to accomplish over your first year as Mayor?”

This next year is critically important for our beautiful Town. With such significant developments to the south of us, the Town Council and Town Manager must work as a Team. With my strong leadership there will be a much-needed strengthening of collaboration between the Town Council and Town Manager.

The mayor plays an important role in prioritizing and organizing the Town’s business. This requires an in-depth understanding of the Town’s business, finances, needs, and the residents’ desires. To be effective, I as your mayor will focus on unity, inclusion, and the importance of respecting every person’s opinion when compromise is required to achieve and implement the goal of what is best for our Town.

Initially I look forward to working with the Interim Town Manager and then working with our new Town Manager to address these priorities:
(1) listening to and tackling the concerns of our residents;
(2) utilizing the expertise of our residents through Town Boards, Commissions and Committees drawing upon residents’ knowledge and experience;
(3) scheduling and holding regular planning and update meetings;
(4) implementing procedures and milestones to monitor and ensure timely progress on goals and objectives;
(5) increasing transparency:
(6) emphasizing conservative financial management with integrity;
(7) charting intelligent growth;
(8) pursuing economic development;
(9) seeking solutions to our need for affordable and workforce housing and transportation;
(10) actively promoting Wickenburg’s team roping and other equestrian disciplines;
(11) preserving Wickenburg’s Western and Mining heritage and small-town charm.
See BGforMayor.com for more information.

It certainly has been a privilege and honor to serve as a Town Council member since December 2020, and I am very excited about serving as your Mayor. Together we can make a difference!

Question 2 for The Wickenburg Sun: "In Wickenburg, what is the biggest need of the Mayor right now and, as Mayor, what would you do to fill that need?"

Although the Mayor provides significant leadership, the mayor is one of seven on the Town Council elected to serve in collaboration with the Town Council members and Town Manager. We must work as a team.

My leadership will set a tone and environment for openness, unity, trust, and transparency. Using my skills, learned as an associate organizing Billy Graham international crusades, working in a private university as well as other professional experiences, I will show respect, listen and work to achieve the best possible solutions for Wickenburg. It is essential that we have teamwork and consider residents' input as we work toward agreements that strike a balance.

As Mayor I intend to meet weekly with the Town Manager. My goal is to establish frequent planning and update meetings to gather input, share ideas and work toward solutions. I will always push for transparency and interaction with residents. I will encourage the utilization of volunteer Advisory Boards, Commissions and Committees to glean then transfer members’ concerns and recommendations to the Town Council. What a resource! We need a bottom-up rather than a top-down approach.

I will encourage the Town Council to frequently review our General and Strategic Plans and to establish more specific Strategic Plans that include action points and timelines.

I will lead efforts for intelligent economic growth, address the need for affordable housing, increase transparency, and work diligently on the many other important issues facing our town. Achieving what is best for our Town and preserving Wickenburg’s mining and western heritage are a priority.

Our great Town is at a crucial point, and I will provide the strong leadership required to tackle challenges without hesitation, always going the extra mile while leading and learning from the entire community. Together we can make a difference!

Following was published in the Wickenburg Sun in answer to Question 1 to mayoral candidates which was "As mayor, and based on the recently approved 2024-25 fiscal budget, what are some changes you would like to see in the 2025-26 fiscal budget? Please be specific and elaborate as to why you would like to see those changes."
My answer: "The Town budget is complex and requires extensive consultation with Town Manager and hours of study. I will promote and secure more residents’ input. Council needs to give clear directions regarding the goal of decreasing budgets (excluding capital improvement items).
The budget has grown significantly in the last two years. While Kristi Henson supported the budgets, I voted “no” believing there were numerous areas within those budgets where the costs and expenses could be reduced.
I will push for changes in future budgets: (1) reducing the property tax, (2) reducing the food tax, (3) limiting consultants use and requiring competitive bidding, and (4) adding a line item for the Community Center.
The Town has many financial challenges such as the ten-year $120M wastewater and water infrastructure plan. I am concerned because this plan was created using a very low 2% inflation rate, and the $120M does not include any debt servicing. Council needs a detailed long-range plan for these expenses and including items such as road maintenance, improving current parks, building new parks, adding more recreational sites and trails, remodeling or building a new community center, etc.
I will collaborate with Town Council members and Town Manager to be fiscally responsible. This will include limiting the hiring of high-paid consultants and requiring all projects to be competitively bid instead of the frequent practice using engineering estimates and cooperative bids from other cities and counties. I would push for reducing the Town Manager’s spending limit without Town Council approval (it is now $50,000).
As Mayor I plan to use as a resource my expertise combined with experience from past years budgets as well as that of our residents willing to volunteer. Together we can make a difference!"
