The Boulder City Podcast and Boulder City Social have joined forces to present a series of podcasts with candidates for the City Council of Boulder City. In light of the lack of public forums during the pandemic, we hope that these podcasts will help voters meet the candidates, understand their views and opinions, and guide their votes in the upcoming election on April 6. If no one achieves 50 percent of the vote on April 6, the top four vote getters will be involved in a runoff in June.

Today’s podcast features Matt Fox, whose father owns Fox’s Smokehouse BBQ, one of the most successful of the recently opened small businesses in town. Fox has a long history in food-and-beverage, working for some of the larger food distributors in the country. He joined his father a couple of years ago and he moved his family to Boulder City, where he used to spend his summers while growing up in Southern California. He has three children in Boulder City schools and wants to sink his family roots deep into Boulder City. He’s running for city council to maintain what he loves about the small town of Boulder City.
