Steve Huber

Candidate, Fairfax Mayor

A Cedar Rapids native, I graduated from Washington High School before spending a few years working in the nightclub and real estate industries. I then followed in my father’s footsteps and entered the paint contracting business, where I've built a career spanning over 30 years. My wife and I have called Fairfax home for more than 15 years, proudly raising our two children in the community we love. For the past seven years, I've had the honor of serving on the Fairfax Planning and Zoning Board.

1. If elected, what would be your top three priorities while serving on the Fairfax City Council?

- Common sense leadership.
- Focus on practical, balanced decision-making that reflects the needs and values of Fairfax residents, rather then outside interest or short term gains. - Fostering community collaboration.

2. What do you see as the top issue facing Fairfax today, and how do you believe the City Council could help address it?

Fairfax is growing, and I want to make sure that growth happens in a structured, responsible way that keeps our small-town character, while supporting local business and improving services.

3. Alliant Energy has proposed the construction of a natural gas power plant to be built in Fairfax. What are your thoughts on this proposal, and do you think the City Council should be supportive of the project?

I believe the project has potential benefits for our community, but it's important the city council review all the facts before making a decision. Community input should play a key role in determining whether this project is the right fit for Fairfax.

4. Within the last year, the city of Fairfax has altered its leadership structure to bring on a city administrator. If elected, how would you work to develop and maintain an effective and productive relationship with the administrator and with city staff more broadly?

I have worked with the administrator for several years while serving on the Planning and Zoning committee.
Building team work and open communications between, council members, city staff, and residents will help ensure everybody works together toward shared goals
