The Boulder City Podcast and Boulder City Social have joined forces to present a series of podcasts with candidates for the City Council of Boulder City. In light of the lack of public forums during the pandemic, we hope that these podcasts will help voters meet the candidates, understand their views and opinions, and guide their votes in the upcoming election on June 15.

The race for the final city council seat available this year has come down to two candidates, Matt Fox and Cokie Booth, who were the candidates who got the most votes, except for Sherri Jorgensen who was elected to a city council seat with more than 50 percent of the votes cast. Fox and Booth will square off for the final seat.

Fox is the son of Dan Fox, the owner of Fox’s BBQ, and manages the restaurant. Since the restaurant relocated to Nevada Way, he moved his family to Boulder City, where he used to spend his summers while growing up in Southern California. He has three children in Boulder City schools and wants to sink his family roots deep into Boulder City. He’s running for city council to maintain what he loves about the small town of Boulder City.

Booth has declined to appear on this podcast so voters will have to learn about her views from other venues.
