My Personal Appeal

I'm asking for your vote because I believe we can restore fiscal honesty to City Hall with an independent audit of your tax dollars, defend our homes with proactive wildfire technology, and protect the Cultural Park as the heart of our community. As a relentless optimist, I refuse to accept that our town has come to feel transactional and transient; I see a Sedona where residents are the priority, not a footnote. I want to be your servant leader—a person you can trust to do the right things for our home, even when no one is watching.

In my years of running an interior design firm and turning around underperforming businesses, I’ve operated by one guiding rule: You cannot get to a positive outcome from a negative position or place. If a business starts from a place of poor communication, lack of transparency, or over-extension, it will fail. Right now, I see our city government starting from a "negative position"—one of "government-knows-best" urbanization and fiscal surprises. It’s time for a shift. It’s time to move to a positive, proactive position that puts the interests of Residents First.

1. Trust is Earned—Not Assumed

Trust isn’t a campaign slogan; it’s a daily practice. As a Servant Leader, I believe we must Listen, Learn, and Lead. This means ensuring that those who live here, own businesses here, and work here have a seat at the table before the agenda is set. We need a voice that represents the neighbors, not just the bureaucracy.

Fiscal Responsibility: Accountability beyond the Ledger

In business, you cannot reach a positive outcome from a negative position. To get Sedona back on track, we must start from a position of total accountability. My goal isn't just to verify that the "math is right"—it’s to ensure the spending is right.

The Mission: We will evaluate every project and department with three simple questions:

Is it working?
Can it be better?
And most importantly, does it directly improve the lives of our residents?

True transparency isn't just showing you the numbers; it’s proving that your tax dollars are working as hard as you do.

Why Residents First?

Sedona is more than a world-class destination; it is our home. For too long, our city government has felt "transactional"—treating our neighborhoods like line items and our residents like an afterthought. I believe in community over transient growth.

Being "Residents First" means being proactive, not reactive, anticipating challenges before they becom crises. It means choosing transparency over surprises and ensuring that the people who live, work, and raise families here are the priority, not a footnote. It’s time to move away from a city that feels transient and get back to the unique, small-town heart that brought us all here.

My Promise to Sedona

I am running to be a bridge between Sedona residents and City Hall. I promise to be proactive rather than reactive, to be a steward of your hard-earned tax dollars, and to always put the quality of life of our residents at the top of every agenda. I am Lita Boyd, and I am asking for your vote so we can protect the beating residential heart of Sedona—together.

Fix the Traffic

With only three roads in and out of town, Sedona is strangled by frequent frustrating traffic jams. Multiple State, County, National Forest, Fire District and City jurisdictions have failed to work together to execute the comprehensive multi-agency solutions that have been identified for over a decade - instead we have miniscule band-aid fixes. I will build the bridges between agencies to create effective traffic solutions.

Cultural Park - the heart of our community

Protect the Cultural Park as a gathering place for all to use, a vibrant to support a celebration of the outdoors, of arts, film, and music—and while we need all types of housing, let's not build any within this, our community's heart.
