Dear Friends,
Just a few days ago I said to my subscribers this election has become the dirtiest, nastiest campaign I have seen in my 20+ years of involvement in Scottsdale politics. That's bad enough, but just in the last few days the campaign by the lovers of overdevelopment to defeat Barry Graham, Michelle Ugenti-Rita and me has actually become worse! Incredibly, over the last few days the lies about us have become more numerous, more outrageous and more personal.
Why are our opponents sinking so low? Because they know they can't beat us on the issues - on the issues we are right where the vast majority of Scottsdale voters are, against overdevelopment! So, their only hope of winning is to barrage us with negative campaign ads and hope some voters fall for them.
As I said in my last newsletter, I believe the voters of Scottsdale are savvy enough to see through this dirty, ugly campaigning. After all, in 2024 Scottsdale voters fired all the Council incumbents and challengers who supported overdevelopment. So, I am optimistic the voters will make the right choices again in 2026.
But there is one thing that could hand the bad actors a victory - low voter turnout! Right now, voter turnout in this election is lower than in previous primary elections. Please don't let your voice on the future of Scottsdale be silent - make sure you turn in your ballot on time for it to be counted. If your vote isn't counted the bad actors will win by default, and our beautiful city and our residents will suffer for it.
It is now too late to mail back your ballot. To insure it is counted you will need to either take your mail in ballot to an early vote center or vote there in person by 7 PM on Tuesday, July 21st!
You can find a list of early vote center locations and hours at https://elections.maricopa.gov/voting/where-to-vote.html.
I hope when you do turn in your ballot one of the names you voted for will be mine. For twelve years I served on the City Council and have a consistent record of fighting overdevelopment. And in the last ten years as a private citizen, I have been involved in every major resident-driven battle to keep Scottsdale special. Bottom line, I am the proven commodity you can trust to stay true to my resident-friendly promises once I get in office!
