Thank you for your interest in my being elected to office of Chandler Mayor. Chandler has seen great recovery and prosperity during my terms in office as a Chandler Council member, a position I will occupy until the mayoral election 2018.  We were one of the first cities, if not the first, to rise out of the recession years ago. During these years we have received accolades for being one of the top cities in the nation in regard to prosperity, safety, desirability, education and transparency. I have been honored to be part of making that happen.

My commitment as Chandler’s Mayor is to create and continue Chandler’s legacy as a world class community. My priorities are the following:

• Great schools
• Great jobs
• Great safe neighborhoods.

An advantage of being an incumbent is that I have a track record of accomplishments:

• Chandler has consistently garnered accolades for some of the top schools in the state. I have championed and volunteered at our local schools for over a decade.
• Chandler is emerging as the Innovation and Technology Hub of the Southwest.
• Chandler was recently ranked 4^thin the nation for technology startups.
• Chandler was recently rated as one of the safest communities in the nation.
• Chandler was recently recognized as the 4^thbest city in the nation to raise children.
• Chandler is one of a few dozen cities in the nation to have received an AAA bond rating from each of the three rating agencies.
• Thousands of new jobs are being created in Chandler in every year.
• I have consistently voted to lower property taxes and will continue to do so.
• Our cost of service in Chandler is among the lowest in the Valley in terms of sales tax, property tax and utility costs.

I continue to be honored to serve our community. Together we can create and continue Chandler’s legacy as one of our nation’s premier cities.
