E-mail Councilmember Diedrich
Carl Diedrich served as vice chairman of the Public Safety Advisory Committee prior to being elected to Maricopa’s City Council in May of 2008. In addition to his tenure on the Public Safety Committee, Diedrich served on the Maricopa Fire District Board of Governors. He was also a founding member of the MASH Anti-Drug Coalition.
Public Service has always been important to Diedrich, and he has served the community in various capacities. His family attends Community of Hope Church where he has been a youth leader and been involved in many of the Church’s outreach programs. Diedrich is also very active in the Maricopa Mutt March, an annual event for dog owners to walk and come together to raise money for a future dog park in Maricopa.
After attending Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, Diedrich joined the HoneyBaked Ham Company and spent 12 years working in several capacities, most recently as district supervisor for the Minnesota region.
Diedrich believes a representative government is responsible for making sure the voice of its constituents is sought and heard. The decisions that the city council makes should reflect the will of the citizens of Maricopa. A council member listens to Maricopans and makes decisions which will improve the quality of life in Maricopa.
Since moving to Maricopa with his wife Kimberly, Diedrich has been a Design Consultant. His wife owns Home Is Where The Hound Is Pet Sitting Services. They live in Rancho El Dorado where they raise their son Nate, who attends Santa Rosa Elementary.
