Hi.  I’m Denise Myer, I’m the passionate and committed candidate for Reno City Council, Ward 3. Reno stands as a city I am proud to call home. Its immense diversity not only adds to its charm but also fuels its potential for becoming an even better place to live. To achieve this, we must embark on a journey of sensible economic growth, ensuring affordability and sustainable land-use policies. When elected, as a member of the city council, I pledge to uphold Reno's long-term fiscal growth and prioritize fiscally responsible decisions, safeguarding taxpayer money.

In Reno, there is a crucial need for a certain standard of services. From public safety to parks and infrastructure, these services play a pivotal role in maintaining our community's well-being. It is imperative that we optimize their efficiency, especially considering the rapid growth that the city of Reno is experiencing. By expanding our police force, we can ensure that our community feels safe, secure, and confident in relying on these essential services whenever the need arises.

We are confronted with a pressing issue - homelessness. However, it is essential to comprehend that being homeless does not merely imply lacking a physical abode. The plight of homelessness is intertwined with various factors, including mental illness and insufficient availability of affordable housing for our workforce.

In this thriving city that I proudly call home, fostering smart economic growth is essential. One of the key strategies in achieving this goal is through the encouragement and support of small businesses, particularly those located in the downtown area, as well as the food truck vendors.

It is crucial that those who represent Reno’s residents are elected, not appointed. The democratic process should be upheld, and when a vacancy occurs, I firmly believe that a special election should be conducted to ensure the voice of the people is heard. It is essential that the resident's right to choose their representative is respected. Unlike appointed officials, elected representatives have the backing of their constituents, giving them a stronger foundation of support and validity in their decisions.

 

To effectively represent Ward 3, it is essential to listen to the concerns and aspirations of its residents. I pledge to not only listen attentively but also to actively seek out diverse perspectives. I’m proud to announce I’m running for City County, so the residents of Ward 3 can have an elected voice. I’d appreciate your vote.
