QUESTIONS
• Why do you want to represent District 4 on the Salt Lake City Council?
In the past eight years while on the City Council, I have put forward some 30 initiatives and ordinances to improve neighborhoods and quality of life for us all. Many of these are ordinances today. The point of the election is to figure out who can be counted on to get the job done. I am a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-it-done kind of leader. I have not flip-flopped. I have not sold out for influence.
For the past eight years on the City Council, my approach to decision-making has been to keep an open and questioning mind. I have never sold my vote or caved in to special interest groups. One of my constituents said of me, "When Nancy says something, you can take it to the bank."
I am never going to be the favored candidate of the insiders and power brokers. I listen to you, the taxpayers of Salt Lake City. I do not assume to have all the answers, and so I ask continually for constituents' ideas. I actively seek out and talk with those who may be impacted by the decisions that are before the City Council. My intention is to do what is right for our neighborhoods and the city. I am willing to speak up and often. I'm asking for your voice and your vote on Nov. 6 for Nancy Saxton for City Council.
