Last Saturday, Lakeview Academy played host to a dynamic and engaging event that brought together local state legislators and the community over a delightful spread of pastries. The 2nd annual Politics and Pastries event, organized by the Eagle Mountain Chamber of Commerce, proved to be an insightful and well-attended affair.
The event featured esteemed guests, including Representative Jefferson Moss, Senator Dan McCay, Senator Heidi Balderree, Representative Stephanie Gricius, Representative Cory Maloy, and Senator Daniel Thatcher. These local representatives shared their perspectives on crucial topics that impact our community, ranging from the upcoming legislative session to education funding, transportation and infrastructure, housing affordability, taxes, air quality, and water issues.
With over 80 eager attendees, the event reached standing room only, highlighting the community’s keen interest in understanding and participating in local politics. The diverse range of topics covered allowed attendees to gain valuable insights into the issues that directly affect their lives.
The format of the event allowed for an open and constructive dialogue between the legislators and the community members. Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions, express concerns, and engage in meaningful conversations, fostering a sense of collaboration and understanding between the local government and the people it serves.
The morning kicked off with a delicious breakfast, creating a relaxed atmosphere conducive to networking and community building. The casual setting helped break down barriers, allowing for more candid and personal discussions between the legislators and attendees.
As the aroma of pastries filled the room, so did a spirit of civic engagement and community empowerment. The Politics and Pastries event at Lakeview Academy not only provided a platform for discussing critical issues but also underscored the importance of community involvement in shaping the future of Eagle Mountain. The Eagle Mountain Chamber of Commerce extends its heartfelt thanks to all the legislators who participated and the community members who contributed to making this event a resounding success.
