Rocky Anderson announced his campaign for Salt Lake City mayor Wednesday, promising among other things to sanction homeless camps and reduce police response times to six minutes or less.
On Wednesday, he announced his campaign for Salt Lake City mayor, seeking to reclaim the position he held from 2000 to 2008. In an hour-long speech inside a Ballpark neighborhood salon, he blasted the current administration of Mayor Erin Mendenhall and the city council of having a"do-nothing" attitude.
Throughout the speech, Anderson heaped criticism on Mayor Mendenhall over the city's handling of homelessness, policing and other issues, while touting his previous accomplishments including the Olympics, public transportation changes, the orange pedestrian safety flags and the Salt Lake City International Jazz Festival.
"I get things done," Anderson told reporters afterward."I’m running for mayor for one reason and that is we need to turn this city around. I can build the team and we can look back, after not even a full term, we’re going to look back after a short period and see major major changes that are beneficial to Salt Lake City."
