VOTE THOMAS WIKNICH for MAYOR
I am married and have lived in Ridgecrest since 1979. Former Vice Mayor of Ridgecrest. Former Program/Contract Manager from China Lake. I currently own GUNS4US, KZGN TV, Ridgecrest Gun Range and am President of Non Profit Ridgecrest Gun Range Association. I am a veteran and served in the U.S. Army enlisted, 1969 to 1972 I care about Ridgecrest and our community. Our city NEEDS new leadership to take us in a better direction. We have a GREAT future ahead of us as long as we, as a community, make the RIGHT decisions.
MY TOP 3 PRIORITIES:
1. Police, Fire Service, Crime Prevention: With the rise in crime our state is seeing, now more ever before it’s important that the city provide a SAFE AND SECURE city for us to live in. We should increase our funding for police. 2. Roads, Infrastructure, Water, Pinney Pool: Our roads are in constant need of repair. Our sewer plant is in need of replacement. Time to get it done. Water overdraft needs to be stopped ASAP. Pinney pool should be rebuilt ASAP 3. Transparency: STOP negotiations behind closed doors. Encourage back/ forth between council and the public.
