In the twelve-plus years I
have been on the Scottsdale City Council I have always fought to protect
Scottsdale’s special character and quality of life. I have opposed the
short-sighted, parasitic “growth” promoted by the current Council majority,
which actually degrades Scottsdale’s special character, overtaxes our
infrastructure and costs existing residents both in tax dollars and in reduced
quality of life. And I have fought the special interests who want to exploit
Scottsdale's unique character for their own short-term
gain.
Because of term limits I
cannot continue on to serve on the Scottsdale City Council. But you do have a
candidate in the upcoming election who you know you can count on to continue to
fight to Keep Scottsdale Special, Kathy Littlefield. Her
leadership in defeating the third-of-a-billion-dollar property tax increase last
fall proved to everyone what I have known for years, which is that Kathy has the
skills, smarts and passion to fight for Scottsdale’s special character and
quality of life.
The special interests
certainly believe (and fear) that Kathy will be an effective advocate for
Scottsdale residents. They proved that by spending hundreds of thousands of
dollars of dark money on hit piece mailers and anti-Kathy signs designed to keep
her off the City Council!
Even though the election is
only a week away there are still many ways you can help Kathy’s campaign. She
needs volunteers to pass out doorhangers and to make calls to potential voters.
If you can help with either of these important tasks please contact her at kathy@kathylittlefield.com or
480-951-2549. We also still have a few yard
signs left.
The other thing you can do
to help is to spread the word about Kathy’s positive campaign to be Your
Voice On Council. Please ask your Scottsdale friends and neighbors to
vote for Kathy. A recommendation from a trusted friend or relative is worth far
more than any mailer or robocall. Email your contacts and let them know why they
should vote for Kathy. Then, post that email to your Facebook, Twitter or other
social media accounts. Feel free to use any of the material on Kathy’s web site
(www.kathylittlefield.com) or
Facebook page.
I believe this kind of grass
roots campaigning will help Kathy to overcome the massive amounts of dark-money
that the special interests are spending to keep Kathy off the City Council. And
I appreciate your willingness to help.
