Accountable

Doug has always enjoyed taking on challenging work responsibilities and could be depended on to get them accomplished in a successful, detailed manner ... and on time.

Logical

Growing up on a farm, Doug learned that hard work and common sense were valuable commodities. He used those lessons as the core of his 48-year working career with two family-owned businesses in Salina.

Trustworthy

During his work and volunteer life, Doug has been placed in many situations requiring fiscal responsibility and trust. He is proud and grateful that he could be entrusted with those duties.

SALINA

"Most of Salina's growth in the past 25 years has been toward the southern area of town. However, in the past few years, it has been nice to see the downtown upgrades and revitalization projects which are creating a new, vibrant atmosphere in this great city."

What you're hearing on local radio in October ...

WHY DOUG ALT IS A CANDIDATE FOR

THE SALINA CITY COMMISSION

DOUG ALT:

"As a governing entity, the City Commission should guide the staff, where needed, in decision-making situations without micro-managing."

"I am persistent by nature and like to see projects completed in a timely manner. My commitment as a City Commissioner will be to pursue those situations with a respectful, yet accountable, approach."

His Vision for Salina

Vision No. 1: Economic Stability. Salina seems to have fewer peaks and valleys than most cities of the same size. Let's continue on this path.

Vision No. 2: Population Growth. Help Salina achieve a census goal of 50,000. It seems we have that number but have fallen just short in recent census counts. Let's grow the city.

Vision No. 3: Local Education. Support the USD 305 and post-secondary education entities in the City and their respective teachers and staffs. Let's promote vital education.

Vision No. 4: Cooperative Relationships. Continue to promote cooperation between the City and County Commissions to develop some cost-saving synergies. Let's work together.

Doug and I met more than 30 years ago on the YMCA racquetball courts where I discovered him to be a tenacious competitor; fair, always honest, strategic, and composed. And, always wearing KSU purple! Salina is lucky to have somebody with his intellectual gifts and genial personality willing to offer his time and talents to raise up and promote our fair city.

I've known Doug since we were kids ... playing summer baseball together in Manhattan. Because I've always respected him for his honest, no-nonsense, straight-forward attitude in dealing with issues, I believe Doug would be a great City Commissioner. He has the integrity and sincerity to do the right thing, regardless of how difficult it may be, so clearly illustrated by his donating a kidney to a relative in need. He will dedicate himself to do a great job!
