What are your top 3 priorities that you would like to achieve if elected?
How do you handle differing priorities within the community?
Christina Fitzpatrick* Occupation & experience: City Council 1 term, Economic Development Director 2 terms, planning and zoning 2 terms, Project Manager fitzpatrickforuc.com Ashton Bulman* Occupation & experience: 2 years on City Council, volunteer for several events and charities in UC, homeschool mom PinkforUC.com
I will ensure priorities align with our city’s new comprehensive plan while enhancing city services. I listen to all perspectives, consider long-term benefits and make balanced decisions that serve the greater good rather than just individual interests. My goal is to foster unity and sustainable growth for our city.
Using our new comprehensive plan to guide votes, enhancing city services for residents and businesses and implementing long-term economic strategies to maintain low property taxes while preserving our community’s unique character. These initiatives will ensure sustainable growth, improved quality of life and a thriving future for our city.
When handling competing priorities, I decide based on my values of maximizing the freedom of our residents and businesses.
Lower taxes, keep unnecessary spending to a minimum and fight for less restrictive ordinances and permits.

I try to find a middle ground, or a way for one to help foster the other.
1. I would like to see our comprehensive plan adopted and moved forward. 2. I hope to see a resolution to how the golf course and conference center is utilized for the community. 3. To see UC continue with the directed growth we’ve experienced over the last few years to help reduce the tax burden.
