The race for the Grand Junction City Council began this week as some candidates have publicly announced their campaigns and are collecting signatures.
On Wednesday Council Member Rick Taggart announced his re-election bid with a focus on bolstering the economy and spending taxpayer funds wisely. He said helping the city and its businesses as they recover from COVID-19 will be an important task going forward.
âIâm not done with what I am trying to do,â Taggart said. âI have not completed the job. I want to continue to push forward on the diversity of our economy. I want to do everything possible I can to help the business community, as well as the nonprofits having to do with COVID-19.â
