in the news

Grand  Junction moans over the fast growth and crowded streets. We need  someone who understands growth, integrity of neighborhoods as growth  comes. Sandra Weckerly wants orderly growth, attainable housing and good  jobs; not just for her children, but for everyone to have their  children and grandchildren call Grand Junction home.

Sandra  has the knowledge, drive and insight to guide Grand Junction forward. I  hope you will join me in voting Sandra Weckerly, District A for City  Council when you receive your ballot.

Grand Junction

I  write this letter in support of Sandra Weckerly for the District A City  Council position. We have been so impressed with Sandra and her work  over the many years we have known her! She and David have raised five  incredible children, all attending CMU. During that time, Sandra single  handedly turned around our master-plan community at Redlands Mesa,  including the golf operations and incredible Ocotillo restaurant, both  of which were in disrepair and in need of new life.

We  have watched Sandra on the Planning Commission and feel blessed that  she is working so hard with her forward thinking for our valley, while  protecting its charm and beauty. A great example of her work is the  redevelopment of the former REI property on 7th and North, which was  vacant. That building, now Mama Ree’s restaurant, has new life, bringing  new jobs and economic growth to our community.

On  a more personal note, I am grateful for Sandra’s commitment to our  nonprofit community. Sandra was a tremendous source of support to the  important work being done at STRiVE, assisting individuals with  developmental disabilities in our valley. She served on the Foundation  Board and was always willing to offer whatever resources were needed.  Sandra truly believes in the responsibility that we have as a community  to serve our underserved! I encourage you to vote for Sandra Weckerly!

I  am writing in support of City Council candidate Sandra Weckerly to  represent us in District A.
