LOCAL VOICES

"We're a small town, but we live as a microscope for the rest of the world. They're watching what we're doing."

- RUTHIE BROWN

"I hope we continue the good policies to protect this valley and that it not be taken over by people who don't live here. It's a beautiful place with a great community and I hope we can protect that."

- JOHN MCBRIDE

"John Doyle will represent the real Aspen values with intelligence, respect and environmental stewardship. He is someone who will study the issues and make informed decisions."

- PIERRE WILLE

"John Doyle represents and is dedicated to what I value most about Aspen. Wild places, adventure, creativity, reverence for beauty and a deep sense of the history and meaning of this place. Defending and promoting those qualities in the face of the pressures of growth is essential to ensuring the Aspen we love."

- JIM KRAVITZ

my focus

I want to preserve Aspen's small town character. It's the reason we all moved here; it's what sets us apart.

We will lead by example on Climate Change. New material breakthroughs result in less emissions both during construction and the life of the building. We can create housing on the City side of the roundabout that averts millions of miles of commuting.

Affordable housing: As the conversion of residential rentals into second homes, investment vehicles and vacation rentals continues, we will need housing just to replace those losses. Some opportunities include: affordable housing in the SCI Zone north of Clark's Market and the City owned recycling center property.

About ME

John Doyle

I have lived In Aspen full time since 1982. My daughter Sylvan attends Aspen Middle School.

Primarily I work as an artist. I've worked out of the same studio behind the Tyrolean Lodge since 1989, carving dozens of large statues and totem poles.

I've had many jobs before and since I began woodcarving. My first job in Aspen was clearing ski trails at Aspen Highlands. I have built skis for Phoenix Skis, worked for over ten years in the local restaurant industry, driven snowcats for the Aspen Mountain Powder Tours, worked in the SkiCo's recycling program as well as worked in construction and property management.
