Scottsdale
is a special place - it is literally the best place in the Valley to live, work
and visit. It is so special every one of us who lives here, in
every part of the city, gladly paid a premium to do so.
What
makes Scottsdale Special? Simple: high standards for design, development and
code enforcement, lots of open space, unobstructed views of the stunning natural
landscape, low density and a unique Western character all our own. These
qualities not only make Scottsdale a great place for us to live, they also
attract tourists, who heavily support our local economy.
Sadly
the incumbent Mayor and his allies in the current City Council majority have a
different, negative vision. Their vision is a Scottsdale of tall buildings that
block our views, urban-level density that clogs our streets with traffic and
stresses our infrastructure, an oversupply of apartments, and an out-of-control
bar district. They have approved commercial development next to – and, if they
are not stopped, even in – your Preserve. And, they are
squandering your tax dollars on special-interest handouts instead of funding our
city’s critical infrastructure needs.
Clearly
our city desperately needs new leadership if we are to protect Scottsdale's
special character. That is why I have decided to run for Mayor against the
incumbent in this year's city election.
If,
like me, you are outraged by how the incumbent Mayor and his allies in the
current City Council majority have broken faith with the residents who elected
them, I ask you to harness your outrage and take action. Help me
prevent the short-sighted, parasitic "growth" and wasteful spending promoted by
the current Council majority by supporting my campaign for Mayor. During
my 12+ years on the City Council I proved myself as a tireless advocate for
Scottsdale residents. You can be sure I will do the same as Scottsdale's
Mayor!
The
first thing I will need is money to counter the tens of thousands of dollars my
opponents and their dark-money special-interest allies will spend attacking me.

third thing you can do to help is to spread the word about my positive campaign.
Please talk with your family, friends and neighbors in Scottsdale who are
concerned about the direction the current City Council majority is taking our
beautiful city. Ask them to support me. A recommendation from a trusted friend
or relative is worth far more than any mailer or robocall. Call or email your
contacts to let them know why you support my candidacy, and post those reasons
to your Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts. Feel free to use any
of the material on my web site or
Facebook page.
Help
me Keep Scottsdale Special!
