Election Q&A: Surprise changes

By YourValley

Candidates for the Surprise City Council answer questions each week leading up to the Aug. 2 primary election. There are three candidates in District 1 and two incumbents running unopposed in Districts 5 and 6.

THIS WEEK: What is the top thing you would change about Surprise?

DISTRICT 1
Raymond Grim
If there was one thing I would change about Surprise, it would be to have more jobs in Surprise. A large percentage of our residents have to leave the city for work. When we have residents driving 45 minutes to 1 hour for work, this becomes a quality of life issue. To help solve this issue, I would make sure our Economic Department has the resources they need to find those businesses that would be a good fit for our community.

Make sure to protect the land that is zoned for business so we don’t choke out those opportunities in the future. With the railyard coming northwest of Surprise, there will be plenty of opportunities for business growth.
