In their own words: Southern Utah News Q&A

Southern Utah News's candidate Q&A, which gives no occupation for Fisher, shows him prioritizing household affordability, diversifying the economy toward light manufacturing and remote work, and affordable housing. He calls for budget transparency, spending cuts and a rainy-day fund, and says the county should follow its general plan: "Follow the general plan! I don't consider it an advisory document." These are his own statements. [1]

Fisher also says the county should guard local land-use control against state overreach and adopt guardrails for data centers. He supports dark-sky rules and the Stellar Vista Observatory, wants countywide fire protection, and criticizes the current commission for dismissing a Matrix Consulting Group report. [1]

The official November notice lists Fisher, shown as unaffiliated, and Republican incumbent Patty Kubeja as the two candidates for Seat A. [2]
