Welcome! I’m Michael McOmber, and I’m running to continue serving as your City Council Member here in beautiful Saratoga Springs, Utah.

 

Our city is growing rapidly, and with that growth comes both opportunities and challenges. I believe and have always fought to make sure the voice of the resident is being heard when making smart and transparent decisions. My top priority is preserving the quality of life that makes Saratoga Springs a great place to live, work, and raise a family because "Life's Just Better Here!"  When I worked with former Mayor Mia Love in coming up with the city's tagline, we both looked at each other and knew we found it. 

 

"Life's Just Better Here!"

​

I’m committed to continue listening, leading with integrity, and working hard to represent the interests of our community. I invite you to reach out to me and ask me questions and learn more about what I have done and plan on continuing to do in order to earn your vote. Let’s shape the future of Saratoga Springs—together.

Platform & Priorities

​

1. Smart Growth & Infrastructure
Saratoga Springs is growing—and we must continue to plan wisely. I support thoughtful development that balances residential expansion with essential infrastructure, water resources, and most importantly continue to work with UDOT for traffic solutions.

​

2. Fiscal Responsibility

Your tax dollars matter. I will advocate for a budget that reflects community priorities while maintaining low taxes and efficient city operations.  In my tenure as your City Council Member, I have successfully led the effort and reduced property taxes three times.  I will continue to work towards lowering property taxes when we can.

​

3. Public Safety

Our police, fire, and emergency services must be fully supported to keep Saratoga Springs a safe and secure place to live.  I have and will continue to be a champion of our first responders.

​

4. Preserving Community Character
As we grow, we must protect the values and neighborhoods that make our city special—preserving open space, enhancing parks, and keeping Saratoga Springs family-friendly.  I want to see a skate park in our city that will provide a safe place for our youth and young at heart to enjoy many types of sports.  I also will vote to expand Patriot Park including more pickleball courts, a dog park and build a very much needed amphitheater to support the arts in our city.  I also will vote to put a rec center and pool on the ballot in 2026 for all the residents of Saratoga Springs to decide if it is time to add this very desirable amenity to the city.

​

5. Transparency & Communication
City leaders work for you. I pledge to be accessible, honest, and engaged with residents, ensuring your voice is heard in every major decision.  I love to see residents come to open comment time at the beginning of policy meetings.  I also try to respond within a day or two when a resident reaches out to me directly.
