Matt Hormann, City Council Candidate
Name, Age, Occupation, Address
Matthew Hormann, age 33, Farmer, 804 Ball Street
Why do you feel you are the most qualified candidate to fill the open council seat?
I have been part of the community my whole life, and I've seen some good changes
and some bad changes. I would like to see more positive things on the horizon. I
feel being a farmer brings a good sense of business knowledge out in a person that
I feel that I can in turn bring to the city. I care about the community and want to
see everything and everyone thrive. I have a wife and 2 young children and want to
make sure they grow up in a safe community.
Do you have any specific issues you feel need to be addressed in our community?

CLARENCE

What are you positions on current community projects, such as the library
building project, downtown beautification and promotion of new business in
Clarence? How will you, as a councilperson, assist in promoting these projects?

I think Clarence has a lot going for it, and a chance to capture more. We need to
keep the biggest employers in town, I hate to see the co-op taking storage out of
our community, we need to work in a way to build new in the future. We need
more local support for the small businesses, to bring new ones in. I think Clarence
does a good job of keeping the downtown clean and beautiful looking with the
potted planters. I think the library is a good start at trying to modernize the building landscape of downtown. I will do my best to ensure that what people of the
community want and need gets strong consideration in a timely fashion. If anyone
has anything they need addressed just stop me and bring it to my attention and we
will try to figure out the best way to handle it. Thanks for your time, I look forward to serving Clarence in the future. -Matt
