I look forward to contributing to the successful implementation of many exciting projects currently underway.
I am Marty Hoeger, your District One City Council Member, and I wholeheartedly approve this message. Your consideration means a great deal to me, and I hope to earn your vote November 4, 2025.
Supporting families, community, and progress.
