Spirit of Brian's Campaign

Since being elected to the City Council in 2022, I have learned so much more about the needs, expectations, and interactions of Sedona's residents, businesses and their workers, visitors, government agencies, and other stakeholders. It is my hope that by being elected Sedona's mayor in 2026, I can put this learning to use in serving our community well and making everyone that calls Sedona home, proud to live, work, or play here. And I plan to do so with the highest integrity.

When thinking about key themes for this campaign, I wanted to focus on ideas that are controllable and measurable directly within our community. Through that lens, here are three themes that I think are truly important at this time.

1. Transparency – Improving visibility around Council decision making and City performance.


2. Inclusivity – Providing enhanced opportunities for members of the community to be informed of city initiatives sooner and to interact more directly with the City Council for providing input.


3. Community – Fostering more opportunities for connection and truly defining what we want the character of Sedona to be as a small, rural town in the 21st century.
