Mike Ackerman- Bancroft City Council

My name is Mike Ackerman and I am running as a write-in candidate for City Council for Bancroft.  I withdrew from the mayoral race because there is quality candidates on the ballot for mayor.  If elected to City Council, I feel that I can assist with the positive growth of the community.

I graduated from North Gem High School in 1982.  I moved back to Bancroft in 2020 after many years in the Chandler, Arizona area.  I moved back home because I love this little town.

Since moving back, I have tried to make the living experience in Bancroft more memorable for residents. My thoughts are that if people enjoy the town they grow up or reside in, they may return and be  contributing citizens if and when life allows.  I have witnessed this by many alumni of North Gem High School.  

The City of Bancroft’s infrastructure is crumbling and unless some economic possibilities are introduced to the community, the town is destined for demise.  Streets, schools, utilities including water and sewage need to be addressed.  Bancroft needs solutions instead of band-aids for these issues.  

The location of Bancroft lends itself to possibilities of creating the means of becoming a day destination for tourists and visitors. With the right mayor and council members in office, a comprehensive plan can be initiated to promote Bancroft as a day destination city that can help build and sustain economic growth so the City can survive.

I have stayed out of local politics and it is now time to jump in with some outside the box thinking instead of the business-as-usual approach.  Please write-in Mike Ackerman for Bancroft City Council on November 4.  Thank you.
