Name: Mary Hilton
Why are you running for a seat on the city council?
Following the civil unrest in our city late last spring, I was moved to get involved more directly in our city government. I began attending weekly City Council meetings. Since then, I have diligently reviewed the budget and each new ordinance, proposal, and plan presented before the council. I have also met with department heads and studied the city’s municipal code and charter. In so doing, I discovered that City Hall is missing an effective system of checks and balances. The City Council, as the legislative body, should be a voice for the people and a check on the executive branch. I am running for a seat on the Lincoln City Council to restore balanced leadership and to put our city on a better path forward. My background in accounting and municipal auditing, along with my passion for good government, have equipped me to spearhead effective public policy that will make Lincoln an affordable, prosperous, peaceful, and growing city.
