 Fellow Longmont residents, I'm Harrison Earl and I'm excited, eager, and humble to be running for your City Council Ward 1 seat in November to fight for an affordable, livable, and sustainable Longmont. I want to briefly introduce myself, share my vision, and lay out the pressing issues I'm deeply passionate about. I have cherished the last six years living in Longmont, and I love this city. I've worked in the aviation industry for the past 15 years, and locally here in Longmont, as a chairperson of the Airport Advisory Board, I have actively worked to bring economic benefit to our city. My wife, Elizabeth, is a family medicine physician at Salute Family Health Centers here in town. Together with our Golden Doodle Maximus, Elizabeth and I are regulars at Stephen Day Park, and enjoy walking along Longmont's trails and greenways. Our experience living in Longmont, coupled with my professional work background, provide a foundation for my commitment and vision to a brighter, more prosperous Longmont. When I say I'm running for an affordable, livable, and sustainable Longmont, here's what I mean. Affordability. Our city's soul is its residents, and that's why we need a housing approach that serves everyone, and allows our residents to afford to live in Longmont for the long term. That's going to require us to revisit some zoning ordinances, prioritize affordable, and attainable housing, and keep our taxes low. Let's ensure that our city's growth doesn't force our residents to move away. On livability, our parks, open spaces, and greenways aren't just land, they're the heartbeat of this city. It's critical that we maintain them as a resource for all, but it's equally essential that our residents feel safe with enhanced community policing, improved pedestrian safety, and reimagined transportation networks that let us move around the city and region more easily. And last, on sustainability, we must act today for a green tomorrow. This is not just about reaching carbon zero, but about making sustainable living a part of Longmont's DNA. We must incentivize green investments and ensure that our infrastructure and finances are stable and prepared for the future. In this campaign, I'm not representing a political party but you, the residents of Longmont. I will serve with honesty, integrity, and respect. Even if we have differing views, know that my door will always be open and my ear will always be keen to listen. I promise to bring common sense to a city council where it's often missing. Visit my website at HarrisonforLongmont.com to learn more about me and to share your support. Because I believe Longmont's more than just a city, it's our home. Together, let's usher in an era where every resident thrives, everyone is valued, and our community's fabric is stronger than ever. I'm Harrison Earl, and I'm proud to be fighting for an affordable, sustainable, and livable Longmont for all of us. Thank you.
