Two people are seeking the Park City mayor’s office, offering voters a choice between someone with Marsac Building experience and a political outsider.
Park City Councilor Ryan Dickey and Jack Rubin, who has an extensive business background, are vying for the community’s top political post. There are not enough candidates to force the mayoral field into a primary election.
Dickey is expected to campaign on what he sees as accomplishments at the Marsac Building during his time in office. The platform will also include issues like plans for the development of a senior citizens center, the future of City Hall acreage in Bonanza Park and preparations for the 2034 Winter Olympics with the desire the Games can be leveraged with long-term community investments.
Rubin has outlined a platform that would increase the involvement of rank-and-file Parkites in the work plan of the municipal government. He sees various interest groups as having influence nowadays.
The incumbent mayor, Nann Worel, previously announced she would retire after one term in office. She was a member of the City Council and the Park City Planning Commissioner prior to her mayoral win four years ago.
The City Council contest drew a field large enough to force an August primary to reduce the candidate field to the four who will compete for the two openings in November. The City Council candidates come from a spectrum of backgrounds. They are:
- Diego Zegarra, a not-for-profit executive.
- Jeremy Rubell, an incumbent member of the City Council.
- Beth Armstrong, a former leader of the People’s Health Clinic.
- Molly Miller, who spent time in television news.
- Danny Glasser, a former CEO of the National Ability Center
- Tana Toly, an incumbent member of the City Council.
- Ian Hartley, a trails advocate.
- John Kenworthy, owner of Flanagan’s on Main, former planning commissioner.
