Our Focus

Cedar City is at a crossroads. Rapid growth has brought opportunity, but also serious challenges with roads, water, and infrastructure. Phil Schmidt understands these issues better than anyone—because he has built, maintained, and managed them for decades through his work in civil construction. He has firsthand knowledge of how to deliver strong infrastructure that lasts, and he knows where our city is falling behind. As mayor, Phil will focus on securing reliable culinary water solutions that provide immediate relief while planning responsibly for the future. He will prioritize upgrades to roads, sewer, and utilities so they keep pace with growth and ensure Cedar City thrives without falling behind. Phil also believes in fiscal responsibility, using his business background to make smart financial decisions, cut waste, and direct resources to where they are needed most. He believes in TEAM—Together Everyone Achieves More—and knows the city is strongest when leaders listen, collaborate, and act decisively. Phil is not running for recognition or benefit; he is running because Cedar City deserves a leader who understands the work, cares deeply about the people, and has the knowledge to strengthen our future—one step at a time.
