Thea Karlin Listens to you
Hometown Candidate, Hometown Values
I was born and raised in Flagstaff. My father was a teacher with FUSD and my mother stayed home with us. I am an average citizen. I am a mom of two young children who attend the same public elementary school I went to as a child. My son is 9 and autistic. My daughter is 6 and is graduating kindergarten.
I have worked with local law enforcement, as an officer in the County Jail, and in community mental health at The Guidance Center. I have worked with diverse populations and can appreciate and understand differing points of view. I will never claim to know what someone else is going through as they are struggling in Flagstaff, but I can empathize and they will always have my ear. I have a degree in Psychology, a zest for helping anybody in any way I can, and I am in love with my home town.
I live and breathe for Flagstaff. For the majestic mountains, the bountiful Ponderosas, Monsoon Season, and our incredible snow. I run, I hike, I mountain bike. There is no place on Earth I would rather be.
I am not a politician. I do not have a political career to lean on nor aspirations to climb higher. But I have my heart. I have my desire to see my hometown shine, a desire to see my fellow citizens feel confident that I will always vote in their best interest, I have a desire for a better Flagstaff. I hope to never truly be a politician, I always want to be just a regular Flagstaff Citizen standing up for what’s right and giving others a voice. Please write in my name, Thea Karlin, on your ballot this November for Flagstaff City Council.
