A fourth candidate for Grand Junction City Council has publicly announced his intention to run.
Dr. Greg Haitz opened Rimrock Wellness Center more than a decade ago and said he will focus on helping the economy and community recover after the COVID-19 pandemic.
âIt was hard on families with kids in school, then having them sent home,â Haitz said in a statement. âIt was hard on businesses with changing rules and uncertainty. Businesses need to be open because we all have to be open for business.â
Haitz is running for the open District D seat, which is currently held by Mayor Duke Wortmann. Wortmann is not seeking a second term. Haitz said that while he still has school age children and runs a business, he wanted to serve on the Council to help small businesses during this time of uncertainty.
