Herb Kai for Marana Town Council 2022

Herb Kai’s Story

I’m not just from Marana. My family helped create it.

My grandparents arrived in Southern Arizona in 1905. My father moved to Marana in 1935 and helped found this town. I was born here, went to school here, raised my family here, and I’ve spent 50+ years fighting to keep it the special place we all greatly care for.

But what keeps me going isn’t nostalgia. It’s my wife Diana, my kids Madison and Michael, and my grandkids Teddy and Margo. They remind me every day that the decisions we make now shape the Marana they’ll inherit.

I’ve served as your Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Councilman because I believe in this community. And I’m ready to keep working for you.

Our Strategic Plan

Marana’s future depends on smart decisions today. As your councilman, I focus on what matters most: protecting your water, keeping property tax at zero, bringing quality jobs here, maintaining the fastest police response time in Arizona, and supporting our schools without raising taxes.

As a farmer, business owner, and lifelong Marana resident, I know what it takes to make this town thrive. I’ve worked for these priorities my entire life, both as a citizen and as your leader. And I’ll keep fighting for what’s best for our community.

Protecting Marana's water, families & future for 50+ years

Let that sink in. You live in one of the fastest-growing towns in Arizona and the Town of Marana collects zero property tax.Now, if you own a home in Marana you do pay property tax, but that money goes to Pima County, the school district, and other entities. Not one penny goes to the Town of Marana itself. The town funds its operations through sales tax and smart economic development. That's by design, going all the way back to when Marana was incorporated in 1977.That's not luck. That's decades of disciplined decision-making by leaders who believed the town should earn its way, not tax its way.Every financial decision I make on that council starts with one question: what's best for the people of Marana? We've built something rare here and I intend to keep it that way. Paid for by Kai 4 Marana Council. ... See MoreSee Less

Water is everything in the desert. It determines where we live, how we grow, and what kind of future we can build. I've been fighting for Marana's water since 1971, before this town was even incorporated, and I'm not done yet. Watch to hear why protecting our water supply is one of the most important things we can do for Marana's future. 💧 ... See MoreSee Less
