As Mayor of Stanton, my mission is to lead with integrity, transparency, and a deep commitment to our community’s future. I strive to foster sustainable growth, support working families, strengthen public safety, and preserve the small-town values that make Stanton a place we’re proud to call home.
Every decision I make is guided by a desire to build a stronger, more connected Stanton—one that provides opportunity for our children, respects our history, and welcomes innovation for generations to come.
Together, we will ensure that Stanton grows not just in size, but in strength, unity, and heart.
— Norman Bauer, Jr.
