Do Candidates for Ivins City Support the Night Sky?
As most of you know, two Ivins City Council seats and the mayor position are up for election this November. Because of the number of candidates who have filed to run, there will be a primary between the six city council candidates on August 10, 2021.
Decisions by the City Council can have a huge impact on protecting and preserving the integrity of our night skies. Right now the Council is still considering the proposed changes submitted by the Planning Commission, many of which would negatively impact our night skies. Who is elected in the upcoming election can make a tremendous difference.
We thought it was important for our supporters to get an idea of where each candidate stands in regard to our night sky so we submitted a quick survey to each candidate and are very appreciative and pleased that most completed the survey.
Here are the candidates with a link to their survey responses:
Cheyne McDonald
Derek Larsen
Lance Anderson
Mike Scott
Paul Bryson
Stephanie Webb (no response)
Mayor
Andy Appel (no response)
Chris Hart

Traditionally non-presidential elections have low voter turnout, but as we’ve seen, who sits on our city council is vitally important. So this election is just as important as any other. Please be sure to vote in the primary and apply for absentee ballot if necessary.
