Sweetwater residents will elect three city commissioners on May 13, with six candidates vying for the positions. While four candidates did not respond to questions, Ian Vallecillo provided insightful responses, emphasizing his commitment to community improvement, proven track record in office, and addressing critical issues such as housing density and its impacts. Vallecillo highlighted achieved results in lowering taxes, enhancing public safety, and securing significant funding for community projects, advocating for smart infrastructure investment to manage housing-related challenges.
I'm running for reelection because I care deeply about this community. Sweetwater is where I'm raising my family and it's full of amazing, hardworking people.
I've lowered taxes, improved public safety, revitalized parks and secured over $12 million in grants. I know how to get things done and will continue fighting to make Sweetwater safer, stronger and more prosperous.
The most pressing issue facing Sweetwater is housing density and its ripple effects - overcrowded homes, limited parking, and increased strain on infrastructure and public safety.
While we can't control the housing market, we must manage the impact by investing in smart infrastructure, enforcing codes fairly, and securing outside funding to ease the burden.
