Local voters must bring back one of the most productive local politicians we’ve had in Carson City over the past 10 years, Mayor Lori Bagwell. Between her time in office on the Board of Supervisors and her time as Carson City’s Mayor, Lori Bagwell has done as much or more for this city than anybody else running for local office. This is especially true when comparing her record in office to her opponent, Jim Shirk, who could not get re-elected to the Board of Supervisors after one 4-year term. Lori has worked tirelessly to fund local road work projects, provide affordable housing for low-income workers, effectively manage city growth, and plan for the future.
