Army veteran, communication professional and mom I’ve lived all over this country and the world, but Keystone is the first residence my husband and I were able to choose for ourselves.
I first fell in love with Keystone while stationed at Fort Carson in the ‘80s. Since then, Keystone vacations were treats for us and our three kids – and will be for our two granddaughters. To contribute to my new community, I volunteered for the Keystone election and communication committees. Energized by that work, I now ask for your vote for the first Town leadership team. Down-to-earth, with fresh perspective and no agenda, I will listen intently and work hard for Keystone.
I was initially wary of new government, so I did a deep dive on the Incorporation feasibility, Charter work sessions, and neighboring government decisions. I’ve listened to my Keystone neighbors at town halls, in the media, and when knocking on doors. There’s no doubt: local decisions for local concerns will be powerful if they are for and about our community. We know that changes are on the horizon – traffic, residential mix, ski industry, climate change and water use, etc. That’s why this is the time to be intentional in analyzing, planning, and creating frameworks to shape how we respond and preserve what we most value.
I think our priorities are clear -
- Retain Keystone’s unique character
- Improve family and workforce safety
- Enhance access to nature
- Prioritize lean, efficient government
- Create a government that responds to our diverse community.
I recently retired after 30 years of service as an Army officer, active and Reserve, overlapping more than 20 years on faculty/staff at the U.S. Army War College. I believe my background in leadership, analysis, and planning will serve the Town of Keystone. Talk with me on Facebook: Carol Kerr for Keystone
