"I have known Nanette, her husband and her parents for many years. They are the salt of the earth with conservative values.

"I recently talked to her about being a mayor and her views of the future. Everything she talked about made good common sense and, more importantly, very future-minded. She has shown a lot of good judgement and wants to maintain our community values but accepts the growth that will surely come. She is prepared to deal with the growing pains we have now and will have in the future.

"In addition to her being a 'people person,' her energy and enthusiasm will make her an excellent mayor.

“Nanette is a good woman. I love her. She is one of the hardest working Mayors I have seen since I moved back to Hurricane 20 years ago. She is available to anyone that needs to talk to her.

“Thanks Nanette for all the good you have done as Hurricane’s Mayor.”

"I am endorsing Nanette Billings for re-election for Mayor of Hurricane, Utah. Nanette is a fifth generation resident of Hurricane. She is a descendant of the original pioneers who built and maintained the historic canal that brought water from the Virgin River to the Hurricane Bench following the amazing seven mile route through the canyon. Although she did not graduate from HHS, because her father's career took her to Sevier county, she has lived here for all but her high school and college years. She returned with her husband to raise her family in Hurricane where all of her five children graduated from HHS. She has a great love for Hurricane, its citizens and the wonderful traditions of this beautiful City.

"Mayor Billings has worked tirelessly to understand the workings of local government, the issues of growth, water, taxation, power, sewer, streets, traffic, crime etc. She has almost single handedly acquired the resources necessary to build the two gym building that now stands by the ball fields, the four court building which will be completed this fall and the Veteran's Memorial Park south of the Cemetery. She has done this without raising taxes for citizens or putting the city in need of obtaining bonds. She is also working to break ground soon on a new city pool that will meet the needs of local citizens as well as those of the HHS and Region swim meets. Mayor Billings has always allowed everyone the opportunity to speak their mind and be heard. She respects all people and listens with an open mind and heart. She is courteous and courageous to represent the citizens and city of Hurricane. She is willing to say no when it needs to be said and Nanette understands the process and is willing to work to keep Hurricane great!"

Payton Fisher, Owner of The Farm in Hurricane (Fisher Family Farm)

RE-ELECT Mayor Billings Button

"As a local business owner in Hurricane, I've had the opportunity to work with Mayor Nanette Billings through both the challenges and progress of running The Farm. In every interaction, she has proven to be a person of integrity—fair, direct, and unwavering in her values. She doesn’t play favorites, and she doesn’t bend the rules based on influence or last names. That’s something I deeply respect.

"Even in tough situations—such as when the city had to acquire a portion of our land for a new power line—she handled it with honesty and professionalism. Nanette is not someone who does favors to gain popularity; she simply does what she believes is right, and that kind of leadership is rare.

"While I’m still considering all the candidates in this upcoming election, I can say without hesitation that Nanette Billings is a remarkable person with a strong moral compass and a deep commitment to the people of Hurricane. I believe she would continue to serve the city well as mayor."

Nic Lauritzen

RE-ELECT Mayor Billings Button

"I’ve appreciated Mayor Billings’ willingness to serve our community and her openness to listening. Any time I’ve reached out, she’s taken the time to respond and genuinely hear my concerns. As a business owner and former chamber president, I’ve especially valued her attention to the needs and success of local businesses.

"Hurricane is a unique city with an incredible hometown feel that must be balanced with growing tourism. I appreciate the efforts she and the city council have made to preserve that small-town charm while supporting tourism that fuels our local economy. I’m also grateful for their focus on creating opportunities and recreational activities for our youth.

"It’s clear that Mayor Billings cares deeply about Hurricane and its future. I’m thankful for the kindness and service she has shown."

Betsy and Bruce Scott

RE-ELECT Mayor Billings Button

"Nanette makes it a point to be an informed leader. She spends a great deal of time researching and making sure she understands all the facts before she makes decisions. She is a great listener and truly wants Hurricane to prosper but not at the expense of the small town feel. She is trying to invoke the appropriate changes!"

Beau Davis

RE-ELECT Mayor Billings Button

"My experience working with Mayor Nannette has been consistently positive. In all of my personal interactions and observations, she has demonstrated a thoughtful and deliberate approach. When presented with a concern or proposal, her first step was always to listen carefully and then weigh its potential benefits and impacts on the community. Only after this due diligence did she take action.

"While no leader is perfect and I have not agreed with every decision, I firmly believe that she operates with high moral character. Nannette is dedicated to bettering our community using the resources and talents at her disposal. On the occasions I’ve interacted with her directly, I was impressed by her ability to gather and process information to make the best possible decision. Her actions were never perfunctory; they were carried out with genuine care and concern for our city.

"When I have brought issues to her as a community member, her immediate response was always a desire to learn more, even meeting on-site to truly understand the situation before making a judgment. When an elected official approaches their responsibilities with such diligence and openness, it is far easier to respect and support decisions, even those that may differ from one's own personal viewpoint."

• Pamela Webster, Hurricane Resident

RE-ELECT Mayor Billings Button

"I have LOVED how Nanette respectfully works with ALL candidates for Hurricane City offices, how she attempts to build opportunities for all, even those she may not personally support, including one you are running "against", to speak to the citizens so we can be well informed in our casting our votes.

"I love how she has strongly put her positions in voice and writing so we know what she stands for and can understand her vision. I have been continually amazed at her consistent, respectful nature. I have not ONCE heard her speak disrespectfully about ANYONE, and I have seen her professionalism when others may not be so kind. Not only does she have my vote, but also my gratitude,. I've witnessed how she has conducted herself through this election After seeing her act at city council meetings, she gives me hope that there are folks elected to SERVE us, who take that seriously, and serve with integrity.

"Nanette, thank you for your service."
