Wendi Rawson

Taxes / Budget Wendi will balance the city budget through stronger management, accountability, and the smart application of modern technology to reduce waste and increase efficiency. Infrastructure / Transportation Wendi opposes replacing the Red Hawk Lakes golf course with high-density housing. That proposal is unfair to current residents and undermines commitments made to homeowners. Taxes / Budget She firmly opposes new fees and property tax increases. Families and local businesses cannot afford more government burden. Infrastructure / Transportation Sparks should focus on filling vacant commercial space and strengthening existing infrastructure before expanding outward. Infrastructure / Transportation Growth must be thoughtful, strategic, and aligned with infrastructure capacity — not driven by short-term revenue goals. Infrastructure / Transportation Wendi opposes reckless, growth-for-growth’s-sake development that strains roads, utilities, and neighborhoods. Economic growth should enhance quality of life — not diminish it. Infrastructure / Transportation Wendi will reduce congestion by prioritizing roads and responsible development. She opposes the proposed connector as it is currently designed because Sparks deserves solutions that truly improve mobility — not create new problems. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Wendi will improve and increase frontline police and fire positions to ensure Sparks remains one of the safest cities in Nevada. Criminal Justice / Public Safety She opposes closing Fire Station #5. Safety should never be compromised.
