Councilwoman Sherri Jorgensen
I have lived in Boulder City for over 20 years and been blessed to raise my family here. With my last child graduating from High School, I am now in a place where I can dedicate more time to serving the city that has so faithfully served me. I want to be the person that represents all the citizens of Boulder City. I do not come with any preconceived agenda but rather a listening ear ready to hear my community. I believe being a city council member provides a unique opportunity to listen to the citizens that live in Boulder City and then make decisions based on that input. My parents have retired here, I have raised my children here, and I plan on staying here. I love that Boulder City is filled with history and charm. I love that we have a growth ordinance and no gambling. I love that we support each other. There is so much that is unique and good about this city, and I plan on working hard to keep it that way.
Here are a few things to help you know me better:
