Why Chuck Reno for Reno City Council?

Optimism and vision for a better tomorrow is surely required and justified. The Reno area is unique in its appeal to many people and the City Council can be instrumental in encouraging people, not only to come and visit, but to have a desire to live here. The Council can be instrumental in relocating businesses here and bringing with them high paying sustainable jobs.

Chuck believes that he can provide the required leadership for growth as a member of the Reno City Council. The Ward 1 City Council position is non-partisan. Ward 1 has a diverse population. Chuck can appeal to all people in the Ward, because he knows how it is to be raised in Ward 1 and to raise a family in Ward 1. He wants nothing more than to protect the beauty, lifestyle and community that exist in the Ward. Both Chuck and Kris believe that given all the places in the world to live - Reno is where they want to be. Reno has it all, from amazing community events, such as the Rodeo, Hot August Nights and the Balloon Races to world class education from UNR.

Chuck is running for Ward 1 for many reasons. He feels strongly that the City requires knowledgeable leadership. The City has many great opportunities to grow and serve the citizens more fully. The City also has many fiscal challenges. With his knowledge and direction, Chuck feels that he can fill the essential leadership role and bring a unique perspective to the City Council and be a good steward of the public funds.
