What are your first memories of Chandler — before all the growth? What kind of town was it?
I have fond memories of Chandler as a small and suburban agricultural town. We practically grew up overnight — in a good way — and we’re now the fourth-largest city in the state. What I have worked to accomplish as mayor is to maintain the family-friendly community atmosphere we have always enjoyed.
How did Chandler turn so quickly into a high-tech hub?
