A longtime Fallon resident, Lori Norcutt, with a background in human resources and local business, has announced a bid for Fallon City Council, citing commitment to community service and steady growth.
Norcutt, who moved to Fallon in 1989, said the decision to run came after encouragement from family and friends and reflects a desire to give back to the community where they have lived and worked for more than three decades.
“This community has truly become home,” she said. “It’s where I raised my two children, built lasting friendships, and found a deep sense of belonging.”
Norcutt spent nearly 30 years with the Churchill County School District, beginning in 1991 and retiring in 2019 as a human resources analyst. In that role, she developed skills in listening, fairness, and decision-making, “values I would bring to the City Council.”
Following retirement from the school district, she began working as an office manager at The Grid in 2020. The position has provided additional experience in supporting local businesses and navigating decisions related to growth and community development.
It is those combined experiences, both in public service and the private sector, that have shaped her perspective on the issues facing Fallon.
“I’ve learned the importance of supporting local businesses, making smart decisions about growth, and ensuring our community remains a safe and welcoming place for everyone,” Norcutt said.
While acknowledging she does not have all the answers, Norcutt emphasized a willingness to listen and work collaboratively if elected.
“I’m committed to listening, learning, and working hard on behalf of our community,” she said.
Norcutt faces a crowded field for the Fallon City Council in the open Ward 1 seat, vacated by Kelly Frost, who has reached her term limit. Both Ryan Swirczek and Daniel Doty have filed for the open seat. Swirczek announced his campaign in the Feb. 5 edition; see the story at https://www.thefallonpost.org/article/8770,swirczek-announces-bid-for-fallon-city-council. Doty will be featured in an upcoming story.
Norcutt says she hopes to earn the trust and support of voters as the campaign moves forward.
