V4K or Vallee For Ketchum
Platform
- Transparent, community-driven leadership - Good governance means openness and accountability. I will support decisions that reflect community input and quality of life that make Ketchum special and worth protecting,
- Fiscally responsibility With an annual income of approximately $40M, Ketchum’s operational budget is stable, but the capital plan remains significantly underfunded. I will ensure that spending is carefully prioritized and aligned with long-term needs, so future generations inherit a financially sound city.
- Safe, livable, vibrant community I will champion policies that maintain Ketchum as a safe, welcoming, and thriving town—supporting reasonable community housing, strong local retail, and the upkeep of essential infrastructure.
