I am writing to ask for your continued support as I work to preserve Paradise Valley’s status as Arizona’s premiere residential community. I am beginning my campaign for a renewed two-year mayoral term, and I would like to share my aspirations and my plans for our town.
The past two years have been a challenge for everyone, but I am proud that Paradise Valley has continued to thrive. Our accomplishments should be points of pride for each of us:
• Top-notch public safety
• Welcoming and safe neighborhoods that have earned our Town national recognition
• The highest residential property values, reflective of our focus on preserving our historic building and lot size standards
• Collegial and cooperative relationships with our resorts, houses of worship, schools, and neighboring communities
• And excellent financial management that does not require a local property tax
Indeed, despite recent and ongoing challenges, Paradise Valley residents continue to enjoy the best quality of life of any community in the southwest.
It’s not easy to stay on top, but our town’s commitment to its values — including effective, limited, responsible government — has served us well.
