About Me
Needles is a great city with a rich history and a perfect location for commerce. As your Mayor I will work to see this happen focusing on three main areas Business, Housing, and Tourism. We can come together as a community to Bringing Needles into the 21st century and beyond for future generations.
Next Mayor
I’m Wayne Colburn and I want to be your next Mayor.
As your Mayor, I am committed to addressing the pressing needs of our community. One of my top priorities is to continue fighting for a grocery store in town, ensuring that our residents have convenient access to essential goods. Additionally, I am dedicated to reducing the 15-year road repair timeline to a more sensible and efficient timeframe. I am also deeply focused on improving our healthcare services. Ensuring that everyone in our community has access to quality healthcare is essential for our collective well-being. Achieving these goals requires increasing city revenues through the attraction and support of new businesses. By fostering a thriving local economy, we can fund important projects and enhance the quality of life for all our residents. We need to stop sending our business dollars to Arizona and keep them within our community. Together, we can build a stronger, more prosperous community.

Over the last thirty plus years I have worked in the fields of management and human resources. I retired once my mother came to live with me. She was struggling with her health, so I became her care giver. After her passing I moved here to Needles. While I was the administrator, we saw an increase of about 17% in membership. I took on the “Good Morning Needles, Chamber Breakfast” it was my responsibility to bring in guest speakers that would be able to show either their own business or programs to strengthen our local businesses. I was also able to open a souvenir shop in the Visitor Center.
