| Vote for Ed Meyer Kanab City Council |
I'm excited for this opportunity to run for Kanab City Council. For three
decades, I directed the State of Utah's rural development programs for five
governors. While I always considered my job to be exciting and rewarding, I
have longed for the opportunity to move beyond an administrative position to
serve as a grassroots local elected official.
Over the past year, I've been approached by several community leaders who
have asked that I run for Kanab City Council. They feel the democratic process
works best when voters can choose from a full slate of qualified candidates.
They also feel there is value in having fresh, new ideas regularly energizing
local governance. I'm honored they feel I have the background needed to be a
quality elected official.
I don't see me as running AGAINST anyone. Rather, I hope to be considered
based solely on my own merits. For more than twenty years, I worked with rural
towns in my capacity directing the state's rural development programs for five
governors. The quality of service given us by Kanab City equals or exceed that
of any other towns of comparable size and our current administration deserves
our respect and thanks for their efforts in our behalf. If you don't feel there is a
need for a new face and a fresh outlook, then I likely am not the individual for
whom you should cast your vote.
As you see my campaign posters around town, you may wonder about the
slogan "Old Dog, New Tricks". I encourage you to explore this website to learn
why I have chosen those words to highlight why a vote for Ed Meyer is a good
option.
Thanks for your interest in my campaign and your willingness to become
involved in this important civic election.

| My creed is that public service must be more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It must be a complete dedication to the people and to the nation with full recognition that every human being is entitled to courtesy and consideration, that constructive criticism is not only to be expected but sought, that smears are not only to be expected but fought, that honor is to be earned, not bought.
