My name is Davin Perry and I currently hold position #6 for the Airway Heights City Council. I want to make this city all it can be. A little about me...

​

A great quote I love is - "Decisions are made by those who show up". Well sign me up.

 

I'm a logistics obsessed, type-A personality who values being on-time, following through, and paying attention to the details.

​

I'm nearly a lifelong west plains resident. I grew up in Medical Lake, spent 10 years living in Cheney and since 2018 have called Airway Heights home.

​

I started my career as a multimedia and video professional working for EWU Athletics and then made stops in LA and Atlanta.

​

Afterwards I returned to EWU for a post-bac in electrical engineering, followed by a year working in the bay area.

​

In 2017 I came back to teach high school and give back to the community I love. And now I'm running for City Council to make a difference and make a change.

​

The most important issue for the city is securing a new safe and clean water source.  We currently have secured the funding available for a new well and must work with our local and state partners to ensure the job gets done.

​

The first issue I noticed as a resident is the poor use of the city's website and disseminating information in general to citizens. Communication is random, the website is rarely up-to-date, lacks in providing transparency, and doesn't provide clear and concise information for residents.

 

I'm a detail oriented numbers guy with a love for spreadsheets. I feel all citizens should be able to easily see the budget for the city. Yet it's not there online, or at least I can't find it. A similarly sized city - Liberty Lake - publishes their budget for easy access.

​

I'm not saying I can magically solve all the budget woes of the city, but I believe another set of discerning eyes will help.

​

Airway Heights is experiencing tremendous growth. We need to manage this growth and make sound decisions about zoning, water issues, and what we allow developers to do.

​

Airway Heights has a higher population of renters than the state average. I want to increase the number of people who make Airway Heights home and not as a pit stop to elsewhere.

 

The city has a had a downtown corridor strategic plan in development for over 20 years. Let's take action and start with some changes, no matter how small they be. We can make Airway a stronger economic powerhouse of the the West Plains and destination for travelers with a great downtown.

​

We have a fabulous multi-million dollar recreation center that is underfunded and understaffed. Many of our parks are in disrepair and in need of improvements. Studies show that adequate parks & recreation improves the quality of life and reduces crime. Let's bolster this great asset.

​

With your help, I hope to give Airway Heights my all, and I ask for your support.
