“Strengthening and building our community is job number one. We must continue building housing, get vacant commercial spaces rented, get the right land ready for business to build, keep our schools safe and funded. We must build an environmental stewardship infrastructure to protect us from federal overreach, and we have to plan for the end of Coffin Butte. There’s a lot at stake right now and I’m honored to be fighting for our home.” - Sarah Finger McDonald
