Mark is a conservative who wants our local government to stay focused on its core functions: public safety and infrastructure. By doing these two things well, we can create an economic climate which encourages job growth and helps families. We do not grow our city just to grow our city – we grow our city so all of us can enjoy an improved quality of life. Remember to check Mark Stonecipher on February 12th!
