Laura Sanchez Fowler for Martindale’s Next Mayor Campaign

Introducing a great alternative for our city

A Vision for Martindale’s Future

Martindale is a town full of potential. We have the charm, the river, the small businesses, and the community pride that make people want to be here. But to build a stronger future, we need leadership that listens, plans ahead, and takes action.

I’m running for mayor because I believe Martindale’s residents should be at the center of city planning and decision-making. Together, we can create a thriving local economy, a well-maintained city, and an even better quality of life.

With the right leadership, Martindale can become a vibrant weekend destination—a place where visitors come to shop our vintage stores, swim in the river, and enjoy live music over a great meal. A place where small businesses don’t just open—they succeed.

We need better infrastructure to support this growth. Our roads need repair, our sewer and water systems must expand, and we need housing options that fit a range of needs and budgets. And we can’t stop there—we must invest in parks, walkability, and bikeability so that residents and visitors alike can enjoy everything our town has to offer.

My Platform: A City That Works for You

As mayor, I will focus on:

✅ Community-Driven Leadership – City Hall should serve its people, not the other way around. Residents deserve a voice in city planning and priority setting.

✅ A Thriving Local Economy – We will support our small businesses, promote Martindale as a weekend destination, and create an economic development plan that ensures sustainability.

✅ Stronger Infrastructure & Housing – Roads, water, and sewer systems must be improved. We need smart growth strategies to expand housing options across price points.

✅ Better Quality of Life – More parks, better walkability, and bike-friendly spaces will make Martindale a better place to live, work, and visit.

✅ A Well-Run, Efficient City Hall – Residents and businesses should be able to rely on organized, professional city leadership that tracks progress, communicates clearly, and gets things done.

Priorities: What I’ll Focus on First

In my first year as mayor, I will:

✔ Implement Real Resident Engagement – Make sure the community’s voice is heard in planning and major decisions.

✔ Support Local Businesses – Develop a strategy to attract visitors and customers to help businesses thrive.

✔ Tackle Infrastructure & Funding Challenges – Begin working on solutions for road repairs, sewer expansion, and long-term funding options.

✔ Improve City Hall Efficiency – Organize and modernize city operations so that residents and businesses get clear answers and follow-through.
