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.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave everything in service to this country.Marana is home to the Arizona Veterans' Memorial Cemetery, a sacred place where we can reflect, remember, and pay our respects. Our family was proud to donate the land it stands on, because some things are simply bigger than politics. It was the least we could do for those who gave so much.To every veteran, Gold Star family, and military family in Marana, your sacrifice does not go unnoticed. Not today. Not ever.Happy Memorial Day, Marana.Paid for by Kai 4 Marana Council. ... See MoreSee Less

Congratulations to every Marana student crossing the stage this spring, you've earned it! 🎓One of my greatest joys as a council member has been knowing that the work we do here directly invests in your future. Through a tipping fee agreement I negotiated with the owners of the Marana Landfill, every ton of trash deposited funds scholarships and tutoring for Marana students. To date, that's over $1.4 million back into our schools, and it's set to continue for the next 80 years.That's not a government handout. That's smart, creative dealmaking that costs Marana taxpayers nothing and gives our kids everything.To the Class of 2025: Marana believes in you. We always have.Paid for by Kai 4 Marana Council. ...

Marana has come a long way...but honestly? The best is still ahead.When my family helped build this town, nobody could have imagined what it would become. And standing here today, I still get excited thinking about where we're going. More good jobs. Safe neighborhoods. Schools that set our kids up to win. A water supply that's protected for generations.That's not a campaign promise. That's a commitment I've been keeping for decades, and I'm not done yet.Marana, we're just getting started.Paid for by Kai 4 Marana Council. ... See MoreSee Less
