OGDEN — A venture driver from Twenty Fifth Street entered
the Ogden mayoral campaign, declaring that if elected, his priorities will be
the community's youth, small business owners, and energising real estate.
Chris Barragan said on Thursday night that his team enjoys
Ogden in the beginning. As newcomers to the neighbor hood, he and his partner
Brooke "selected it for the area to boost our young people."
This is Barragan's first bid for public office, and he
stated that the desire to serve and provide additional oversight for Ogden
contributed to his decision to run. The following generation should tip up as
well as supply Ogden, he believed.
Barragan and his business partner own Brookey Bakes, a
bakery located at 290 Twenty Fifth Street, where he made his plan known to a
group of supporters. According to the website for his advertising effort,
Barragan previously managed fundraising tasks at Weber State University, the
University of Utah, and Hogle Zoo in the Salt Lake Metropolitan region. In
addition to serving on the boards of advisers for numerous businesses, he has
coached young people's sports teams.
While team protestors Taylor Knuth and Angel Castillo
announced last month that they are running for the mayoral release, incumbent
Mike Caldwell, who is ending his third term, has stated he is unsure if he will
run again. The first concerns the previous political election, which took place
on November 7 and was held on August 15.

Barragan focused on the necessity to deal with children in
his remarks, taking into account the burden that social networking sites
inflict on them.
He talked about how young people are suffering from a
"all-time too much" of stress, anxiety, and agony. Because in the
long term, as our youth develops, so does our future, we must give our young
people options that may have a long-lasting impact on their future. Our young
kids need the Ogden mayor to be there.
A major focus would also be placed on assisting and boosting
local business, he added, recalling the difficulties he and his partner had to
endure in running their pastry shop. Leaders of the metropolitan area must
convince startups to consider Ogden rather than merely technological hotspots
like Silicon Slopes in the Utah Area.
I intend to go to each new firm launching in our
metropolitan area, he declared. As long as there are businesses on Harrison
(Blvd), we must grow. We were able to advertise for them there. We were able to
introduce them to the people in the south. We were able to introduce them to
the people in the north.
He mentioned that there are various initiatives underway to
support affordable real estate, but he put a special emphasis on inspiring
rookie home property.
In addition, he expressed concern about those with emotional
health issues missing out on work while mentioning his analysis of the issues
arising from the 2018 mass photo-taking at a high school in Park, Florida.
