Community first.
That’s the motto and mantra Dick Powell lives by as an incumbent Casa Grande City Council member, and it’s the driving force behind his seeking re-election.
Powell, who has spent most of his life in Casa Grande, said his parents instilled a love of community and a responsibility to give back.
“Being able to serve on council and help out residents with issues or problems and then following up afterwards is rewarding. I know many people in our diverse community and enjoy an open door policy for all residents,” Powell said. “I am a strong voice and will stand up for what I feel is best for our citizens.”
