My pledge to you

I pledge to you my best effort to keep our community safe, secure, and well maintained at an affordable cost. I am asking for your vote and your support because I want to work with every citizen to see that Oro Valley provides basic services and common areas of recreation and beauty, which will continue to define Oro Valley as a “Community of Excellence” in the years to come. This is why I am seeking the nomination for Mayor in the general election on May 18, 2010. Your vote by early ballot mailed to you will make it possible for me to serve.

 “I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can.” This statement is how I feel and what my intentions will be regarding the Town of Oro Valley.  As Mayor, I look forward to ensuring that Oro Valley will work with, represent and inspire people and businesses to do more for their community so that Oro Valley can sustain itself as a desirable place to live, work, and enjoy the natural beauty that our town provides.

The general election is set for May 18, 2010. Every vote counts in a contested general election. If you are not a registered Oro Valley voter, I ask that you register to vote. You may do that by calling (520) 740-4330 or online at www.recorder.pima.gov. Also, be sure to request an early ballot so you can complete your voting early by mail.

When I made my home in Oro Valley the population was 4,300. Today it is 43,000 but I still believe that our town is small enough to maintain that early community emphasis we’ve all enjoyed. Please take the time to get involved in my campaign and be sure to vote this year. As my election slogan goes...”It’s time WE make a difference”.
