In a matter of days Scottsdale voters will decide between Scottsdale City Council hopefuls Pamela Carter and Barry Graham at the Tuesday, Nov. 8 general election.
To get into this political position, both Ms. Carter and Mr. Graham emerged from a field of seven candidates whereas at the Scottsdale primary election last August both incumbents on the ballot — Councilwoman Kathy Littlefield and Solange Whitehead — were elected outright.
The Arizona Digital Free Press reached out to Ms. Carter to hear what her closing argument is as the light at the end of the campaign tunnel has appeared. This is what she said:
•Have you remained steadfast to your values as you have campaigned for the final seat at Scottsdale City Council?
Absolutely! I have never wavered from my love for Scottsdale, its people, the wide-open spaces of the desert and Old Town. I am a native of Arizona and grew up in the Scottsdale area. I often reflect on the childhood I enjoyed, being able to see for miles and feeling completely safe and secure in my hometown neighborhoods. I owned one of the largest sports medicine and weight training facilities in the nation right here in Scottsdale.
I was the general manager of KPAZ television, and the community outreach director of programming here in the Valley. As a producer and director, on-air host of film, and television, both national and local and on the Board of Help 4 KIDZ,I reached out in non-profit engagement to thousands of wonderful citizens to help those in need. My Judeo-Christian values for our children, schools and Scottsdale will continue to guide me in my decisions on the City Council.
