First, I want to
thank the voters of Scottsdale for their support over the last eleven years.
Bob Littlefield
Your support has allowed me the privilege of serving my community for three
terms as a Scottsdale City Councilman. However, Scottsdale has a three-term
limit for Councilmembers, so I cannot run again for Scottsdale City Council.
I believe I still
have much to contribute to my community, to the state of Arizona and to you, my
fellow citizens. I want to continue my efforts to protect our quality of life
and insure our tax dollars are spent wisely. That is why I am running for the
Arizona State House of Representatives in Legislative District 23.
Most recently my wife
Kathy and I ran the successful campaign to defeat a third-of-a-billion-dollar
city property tax increase which, despite a $230K campaign to promote it (our
campaign spent less than $5K in contrast) was defeated by a margin of 60-40. If
you want to see this kind of pragmatic, effective fiscal conservatism in the
Arizona State Legislature I would appreciate your financial contribution, your
help with my campaign and, of course, your vote.
My top priority as a
State Representative will be encouraging economic growth. Our state needs money
to improve education, protect our most vulnerable children and to maintain and
update our infrastructure. But we can’t fix these problems by increasing taxes –
higher taxes would actually hinder the economic growth Arizona needs to meet the
needs of our residents.
While everyone gives
lip service to supporting economic growth, it is clear what we are currently
doing as a state is not working as well as it should. Arizona just lost a
competition we should have won to become an FAA drone test site, and companies
that should be moving to Arizona are moving to other states instead. My
experience as a successful high-tech businessman and entrepreneur, and my
background in the fast-growing aviation industry, gives me the tools to promote
innovative, out-of-the-box ideas for increasing economic growth in Arizona. Our
state must wean itself off the booms and busts associated with the real-estate
development industry, and I have the knowledge and experience to help make that
happen.
During my time on the
Scottsdale City Council I have been a strong supporter of the tourism industry,
and I will continue to actively support growing tourism at the state
level.
If you have any
questions or would like more information feel free to contact
me.
