COREY’S PRIORITIES
Practical Solutions for Heber’s Growth and Community
Heber is growing quickly, bringing both exciting opportunities and real challenges. I’m committed to guiding our community thoughtfully through these changes, drawing on my experience as a small business owner, financial planner, and dedicated neighbor. Here’s where I’ll focus my energy—and why I’m uniquely qualified to serve:
1. Smart Growth and Development
Growth is inevitable—but it shouldn’t come at the cost of the character and charm that make Heber home. As a small business owner rooted in this community, I understand firsthand how development impacts families, local economy, and the environment. I’m committed to advocating for balanced development that protects our open spaces and maintains our small-town feel, while supporting sustainable economic opportunities that keep our community thriving.
2. Community Unity and Respect
Heber’s recent years have shown the damage that division and polarized debate can cause. I’ve developed patience and a calm approach through many life challenges, including raising a family here, which allows me to listen deeply and engage respectfully—even in tough conversations. I’m dedicated to bridging divides, encouraging open dialogue, and fostering a culture where all residents feel heard and valued.
3. Fiscal Responsibility
A city’s budget is the foundation for all it can achieve. With a background in financial planning, I bring the expertise to carefully analyze, prioritize, and manage public funds. I will work to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely on essential services, infrastructure, and community programs—while avoiding unnecessary tax increases that burden families. Transparency and accountability will be my watchwords.
4. Transparency and Communication
Government decisions impact everyone’s daily lives, yet too often the process feels distant or confusing. As a business owner who communicates regularly with clients and community members, I know the value of clear, honest information. I’ll prioritize keeping residents informed in plain language, making city decisions accessible, and creating real opportunities for public input and engagement.
5. Supporting Families and Inclusive Services
Having a child with autism has given me a personal understanding of the importance of accessible, compassionate support systems. I am committed to advocating for families and individuals with diverse needs, ensuring city services and community programs are inclusive, effective, and responsive. No family should have to face challenges alone.
6. Maintaining Heber’s Outdoor Lifestyle
Our natural surroundings are a priceless asset that define the Heber Valley experience. As an avid cyclist and outdoor enthusiast, I deeply appreciate the value of parks, trails, and open spaces—not only for recreation but for mental and physical health. I will work to protect these areas from overdevelopment, support improvements to our recreational infrastructure, and preserve the beauty and accessibility that draw so many to call Heber home.
