Mark Zimmer - Deputy Mayor

Mark Zimmer - Deputy Mayor I'm Mark Zimmer, Deputy Mayor of the City of Kirkwood, Missouri! I intend to listen to all citizens and work to represent you! I’d appreciate your support!

I ran for Kirkwood City Council because I love Kirkwood and want our city to remain a wonderful place to live, work, and enjoy for future generations. I was elected August 2, 2016 and re-elected April 3, 2018. I'm currently running for re-election to a second full term on April 5, 2022. During the last five years, I have served as your Council Member for the City of Kirkwood, Missouri. I am a subc

ommittee member on the Vision Zero Task Force. For four years I volunteered for the city on the Citizens Finance Committee; during the last 2 years I served as the Vice Chair of this committee. The Citizens Finance Committee is a group of ordinary citizens who review all city budgets and make recommendations to the Council. I am the Network Contracting Management Senior Manager at Evernorth, a division of Cigna. I have a Master’s Degree in Business Administration with over thirty years’ business and management experience. I am a member, volunteer, and leader at Concordia Lutheran Church. I volunteered with the Summit Seekers bible study group, help as an assistant during worship, and have visited Concordia residents who are homebound. I enjoy helping others and working to make a real difference. I am a former volunteer with the Kirkwood School district. I’ve met wonderful teachers, parents, and students at Westchester and Keysor Elementaries, North Kirkwood Middle School, and Kirkwood High School. Our great schools have kept families in Kirkwood as well as attracted new students to our district. I believe that all citizens in Kirkwood should be heard, have a voice, and be represented by the members of the City Council. I intend to listen to our residents, address concerns, and work together to solve problems. I want Kirkwood to remain the most desirable city in Missouri for the future. In order to accomplish this, I believe the following:

--All residents of Kirkwood are equal and should have a voice and representation
--We should strive to maintain fiscal responsibility and stability while providing excellent services
--Working together to create solutions and solve problems is a priority
--All Kirkwood citizens must have good representation through the City Council
--We should preserve and maintain great neighborhoods, public services, and Kirkwood’s vibrant businesses
--Communication is one of my priorities, and I will listen and keep listening
--All citizens should be treated with respect, dignity, and fairness
--We should preserve the unique charm, history, and vibrancy of our city

A year ago today, on another very cold January Sunday, we held our kickoff campaign. Although I was not successful, I am very honored to serve as Deputy Mayor, and I have presided over several meetings and various events.

I have not voted for a winning president in over two decades. However, I sincerely hope this next administration is successful. I see comments from my friends on the right and left, and I get both sides. I realize that I am not a typical American voter, so I'm not the best person to ask about presidential choices. I know this incumbent isn't 'popular', although he leaves office with a ten-point higher approval rating than the late Jimmy Carter, and I remember that administration. But politics and voters can rapidly change. I didn't vote for what begins tomorrow, and I hope they truly start lowering prices tomorrow, because we all hate inflation.

As I think about tomorrow and reflect on a year ago, I am thankful for the support of my wife, my family, my friends, and my constituents. I wouldn't have changed a thing about my campaign and my message. The Citizen Finance Committee recently echoed what I have said (for a long time now) about rising expenses and flat revenues in Kirkwood. We need a strong economy locally and nationally, and I hope our economy and our nation thrive into the future.

I recently voted against reducing our commercial lighting in our city to 2700 Kelvin bulbs. We need bright lights in Kirkwood for safety and security. I viewed these bulbs on the Clay Avenue bridge and they’re weaker, dimmer lights. Ambience is not a substitute for safety. The lights on Manchester Road are 4000 Kelvin bulbs, for example, which is an accepted standard across America.
