Ron Campbell
for Highland City Council
Ron Campbell has served on the Highland City Council for the past two years as an appointed member, dedicating countless hours to listening, learning, and leading with the community’s best interest at heart. Now running for election, Ron brings proven commitment, steady leadership, and a genuine desire to serve—not for politics, but for people. A long-time Highland resident, Ron believes in a collaborative approach to governance. He has built a reputation for being responsive, accessible, and thoughtful—often reaching out personally to residents to understand their concerns. Even when his personal views differ, Ron consistently votes in alignment with the values of Highland residents, demonstrating respect for the community’s voice over his own. Ron advocates for responsible growth, fiscal transparency, and maintaining the unique character that makes Highland special. In spite of personal concerns for liberty, Ron supports preserving Sunday business closures in accordance with the majority vote of the residents. He believes, “If a change is made, it should be made by the vote of our residents, not the city council.” With no political ambition beyond service, Ron’s only goal is to strengthen Highland through honest conversation, careful decision-making, and hands-on involvement.

A special note about Sunday closing in Highland
12 years ago, a large group of Highland residents was successful in gathering signatures and placing Sunday closing on the ballot. The residents of Highland voted to close on Sunday.
This became the clear voice of the people regarding Sunday closing.
I personally, as Ron Campbell the citizen, prefer allowing businesses to decide for themselves if they want to open on Sunday. My military background taught me to value liberty and freedom. However, city council member Ron Campbell represents the residents of Highland, not just himself.
I strongly believe, since it took a major effort to create the Referendum 12 years ago, it should take the same major effort to create an Initiative that would place the issue on the ballot to change it.
By the way, I deeply appreciate council member Doug Courtney who helped me evaluate and finalize my position on this. Thank you, council member Courtney.

Leadership Style and Priorities
-
Transparency and Public Engagement - Emphasizes data-driven decision-making, such as community surveys rather than relying solely on public hearings
​
-
Balanced Growth - Advocates economic development while maintaining the city's character - Supporting carefully managed growth and infrastructure improvements
​
-
Ethical Governance - Prioritizes integrity and avails conflicts of interest, particularly around campaign funding and development approvals. Ron led the effort to restrict donations over $500 from developers with pending land-use applications-aimed at preventing conflicts of interest. This ordinance limits post-filing donations and penalizes violations.
