My Story

My name is Daniel Aguirre, age 68, veteran of the U.S. Army, and I am running for City Council to represent District 1. I have lived in the district for 43 years, thus, I know many of the families in the area I wish to represent. Having attended several council meetings, I have become familiar with the way the council operates. I want to become part of this process in order to not only help resolve problems of the district, but tackle issues residing in the city, as well. I plan to be the voice of the people by keeping them informed of decisions made and projects that are being discussed for the future of our city. Some of the biggest problems that I notice include potholes in our roads throughout our city, fixing drainage concerns, cleaning up properties that have been neglected, and the need to address affordable housing. I believe having committee meetings on the issues concerned would bring in input from all sides. Budgets need to be reviewed to see what is feasible to finance a remedy for each proposed project. I envision our community as one having lots of potential that has not been tapped as of yet.  An example is the way in which the area at the end of main street has developed. It has become an attractive site for tourists and the community as well. More projects like this need to be considered. I want to be part of this type of planning, but more so, I want to be apart of addressing the needs of District 1 and the city by coming up with solutions. I appreciate your vote, feel free to contact me with your ideas and concerns.
