"Mary Hamway was an asset to the Town Council during our time together and continues to be an asset to our community today," said Mayor Scott LeMarr. "There is no one more capable to serve our community down at the State Capitol than Mary."

"While serving with Mary on the Town Council, Paradise Valley was facing many challenges brought on by the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, and difficult decisions had to be made," said former Mayor Vernon Parker. "With Mary's support, we cut spending by 30%, reduced staff, and found ways to streamline government, and through these efforts, we made town government more efficient, effective and accountable."

Former Mayor Ed Lowry added, "I have known Mary for many years and I strongly believe there is no one better qualified to represent us at the State Legislature. Mary has an excellent understanding of the issues and will focus on creating jobs and building a healthy Arizona economy."

Mary Hamway concluded, "It is truly an honor to have the support of so many great leaders. Their collective efforts have made Arizona a better place to live, work and raise a family. As State Representative, I will work tirelessly to create quality jobs for Arizonans and make state government smaller and more efficient."
