ISSUES AND BELIEFS

Nick López: Built to Serve, Ready to Lead.

A Leader You Can Trust

Nick López has spent his life in service—first in the military, then as a firefighter. Now, he’s ready to bring that same integrity, accountability, and work ethic to Heber City government. Nick isn’t a career politician—he’s a public servant who listens, leads by example, and puts the community first.

Community-First Leadership

  • Believes in transparency, honesty, and delivering on commitments.

  • Listens with empathy and respects diverse perspectives.

  • Supports civil, respectful dialogue—even during disagreement.

  • Puts public input before personal opinion.

Smart, Responsible Growth

  • Opposes further annexation until infrastructure and services can support it.

  • Has no ties to developers and refuses to make private deals. NO SPECIAL INTERESTS.

  • Believes development should reflect Heber’s character and follow city code.

  • Would have opposed The Views project due to scale, design, and community concerns.

  • Conservation has to be THE priority. We should support private owners who want to conserve their lands.

Fiscal Responsibility

  • Prioritizes funding for essential services like roads, water, and public safety.

  • Opposes spending on unnecessary or politicized projects (e.g., CRA, C Street).

  • Advocates for balanced budgets and living within the city’s means.

Fixing Roads and Traffic

  • Has always opposed a bypass through the North Fields. Feels that this is an example of failed leadership. UDOT should maximize the real estate they already have by adding a lane in each direction along US40. Of UDOT’s two current proposals, Alternative A - with some adjustments and modifications is the better of the two short-sighted options.

  • Opposes routing traffic through established neighborhoods like 1300 South.

  • Believes UDOT must be held accountable to improve Main Street and reduce congestion.

  • Supports both transportation needs and historic preservation on Main Street.

Balanced Housing Solutions

  • Acknowledges the need for housing but calls for balanced, thoughtful planning.

  • Emphasizes adherence to city code and inclusive community involvement.

  • Supports private property rights alongside long-term community interests.

Protecting Neighborhoods

  • Favors stronger regulation of short-term rentals (like Airbnbs) to protect quality of life.

  • Supports limits on the height and location of cell towers—especially near homes, schools, and parks.

A Commitment to Service

"This community has given me everything—now it’s my turn to serve it with integrity and accountability."
