Candidates and Voters Gather for "Meet and Greet" in Payson

Jodi Beck would like everyone running for city council to be heard.   She helped make that happen last night by hosting a “Meet and Greet” at her home in southeast Payson.

With a primary election occurring in just a little over a month from now, Ms. Beck invited each of the twelve candidates vying for three seats open this year in Payson, as well as the residents they hope to serve.

Payson voters gathered in the Beck family’s yard, June 29, to listen to the platforms and thoughts of most of the candidates who are in the running this election season.  A few residents shared their own concerns, which ranged from communication to costs and infrastructural needs in the city.

Payson's primary election will take place on August 11, with early voting beginning July 28, according to Sara Hubbs, Payson City Recorder.
