BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. – Britnee Kidwell is running to fill a two-year term, Bullhead City Council seat, left vacant when Rodney Head resigned in March to run for mayor. She states that she will support law enforcement, invest in young families with children, and strengthen the community.
When asked why she’s running, Ms. Kidwell replied, “Because I believe our community is ready for positive change. Over the years, I have seen a growing disconnect between the city and the people it serves. I want to help bridge that gap by encouraging greater public involvement and making sure residents feel heard. Most importantly, I want to serve the community where I am raising my children and inspire others to become engaged in making Bullhead City an even better place to live.”
To lower crime rate and keep the city safe, Ms. Kidwell said public safety is one of the city’s most important responsibilities.
“Our police department already receives the largest allocation in the city budget, and I believe our officers do an excellent job responding to calls and serving our community,” Kidwell stated. “While we are a tourism-driven city that welcomes visitors from many different backgrounds, we must continue supporting law enforcement, strengthening community partnerships, and promoting crime prevention efforts. I believe maintaining a strong relationship between residents and law enforcement is an important part of keeping Bullhead City a safe place to live and visit.”
Water quality is one of Britnee Kidwell’s highest priorities, she said.
“I have been told many times that little can be done, but after speaking directly with the director of our utility company, I learned they are currently awaiting a decision on a government grant that could significantly improve our water system. Whether I am elected or not, I will continue following the progress of that project and advocating for long-term investments that improve our water infrastructure and the quality of life for our residents.”
How would she help move Bullhead City forward?
“Bullhead City has experienced tremendous growth, and we need to ensure our infrastructure and amenities grow with it. I would advocate for more opportunities for our youth, including a centrally located recreation center that serves residents of all ages. I also believe it is important to include dedicated sensory-friendly spaces for children with autism and other sensory disorders. As more families choose to call Bullhead City home, we must invest in facilities that meet the needs of every child and create opportunities for healthy, active communities,” Kidwell said.
For the future of Bullhead City, Kidwell sees responsible growth.
“As our city continues to expand, we should focus on quality over quantity by investing in infrastructure, supporting local businesses, improving community amenities, and ensuring our growth benefits both current and future residents. Thoughtful planning today will help preserve what makes Bullhead City special while preparing for tomorrow.”
Kidwell stated she has noticed that age demographics are changing and with that change, she sees a problem that should be fixed.
“Bullhead City has proudly supported its senior community for many years, and that should always remain important. However, our community is changing. More young families are moving here, and I believe we must also focus on meeting their needs. We need to cater to the new generation, shift our focus to provide what they need. Investing in our children grows them into contributing members of society. They will do better and give back to a community who gives back to them.”
Why should residents vote for Britnee Kidwell for the two-year term to Bullhead City Council?
“I am not running to change the things that already make Bullhead City a great place to live, I am running to build on them,” she stated. “I will listen to residents, work hard, and advocate for responsible growth that supports families, strengthen our community, and creates opportunities for future generations.”
