Shane Losee

Together, we'll make St. George safer, smarter, and more prosperous"

Hello i’m

Shane Losee

I’m running for St. George City Council. For the past 13 years, my family and I have proudly called St. George home, drawn here by its stunning beauty, vibrant community, and unmatched opportunities for outdoor activities. I truly love this city and all it offers, and I am deeply passionate about making sure it remains a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family, not just for us but for generations to come. As St. George continues to grow, we are presented with tremendous opportunities, but also real challenges. Managing that growth responsibly is essential to protecting the qualities that make our city so special. We need to ensure our infrastructure keeps pace, our neighborhoods remain safe, and our natural resources, especially water, are protected for the future. I care deeply about our community at large, and I believe St. George deserves forward thinking solutions that keep our city safe, vibrant, resilient, and welcoming for all. Professionally, I bring years of experience as an aviation expert, which has given me a unique perspective on planning, safety, efficiency, and accountability. While I am passionate about the airport and recognize it as a vital economic asset and gateway for our community, my commitment extends far beyond that. I am equally dedicated to strengthening our core city services, advancing smart water conservation, and enhancing public safety throughout St. George. The principles I have learned in aviation, such as teamwork, strategic planning, and real world problem solving, are the same principles I want to bring to city government. I believe in a city government that listens, works efficiently, and puts people first. Together, we can build on St. George’s strengths, tackle today’s challenges, and secure a bright future for everyone who calls this city home. I am ready to work hard for you to make St. George safer, smarter, and more prosperous now and for generations to come.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

01

Our Airport: A Community Asset Deserving Expert Care

"Our St. George Airport is so much more than runways – it’s a hub for local businesses, a gateway for tourism, a lifeline for medical emergencies, and our connection to the wider world. With its critical role in our economy and community well-being, shouldn't we ensure it's managed with the best possible expertise to maximize its safety, efficiency, and positive impact on all of us? As someone with decades of aviation experience, I believe it deserves nothing less."

02

Efficient City Services: Working Smarter for You

"When you interact with your city government, or see your tax dollars at work, don't you want to see peak efficiency and a focus on getting things done right? My background in aviation has taught me the power of continuous improvement and streamlining operations. Shouldn't we apply these same principles to ensure our city services are responsive, cost-effective, and truly serve the needs of our citizens, not get bogged down in unnecessary bureaucracy?"

03

Water Conservation: Securing Our Future Wisely

"Living in our beautiful desert landscape, we all understand that water is our most precious resource. Don't we owe it to ourselves and future generations to implement smart, forward-thinking water conservation strategies that are both effective and fair for everyone in St. George? I'm committed to finding practical solutions that secure our water future without placing undue burdens on our residents and businesses."

04

Public Safety: A Foundation for Our Community

"Don't we all agree that feeling safe in our homes, businesses, and public spaces is fundamental to a thriving community? Supporting our dedicated Police and Fire departments with the resources and forward-thinking strategies they need isn't just a priority, it's a necessity. Are we doing everything we can to ensure they are best equipped to protect and serve?"
