Guest Editorial: City Council Campaign Announcement!

Dear Friends:

I just filed the paperwork to run to return to the Scottsdale City Council.

The reason I am running is simple: everyone who runs for Scottsdale City Council claims to be resident-friendly. But let’s be honest, most vote for overdevelopment after they are elected.

That’s why, if you want to preserve Scottsdale’s special character and high quality of life you should support me in the upcoming city election. In the last ten years I have been involved in every major resident-driven battle to preserve Scottsdale’s special character and high quality of life. I fought commercial development in the Preserve by opposing the Desert Discovery Center. I fought overdevelopment in the 5th Avenue shopping district in downtown Scottsdale. by opposing the bloated Southbridge II development. And I have been the leader of the fight to prevent AXON from building the largest apartment development in the history of Arizona in Scottsdale.

Bottom line, I am the proven commodity you can trust to stay true to my resident-friendly promises once I get in office!

If you agree with me that overdevelopment has gotten out-of-hand in Scottsdale, I need your help. The developers and their minions will be pulling out all the stops to keep me from getting back on Council, including spending bushels of special interest $ to publicly trash me. You can help me to overcome their lies and spin in the following ways:

• Sign my nominating petition online here.
• Contribute to my campaign here.
• Publicly endorse my campaign for City Council
• Post positive messages on NextDoor, Twitter, Facebook and other social media. Winning the on-line battle will be crucial in this campaign.
• Write letters-to-the-editor and Opinion columns supporting my campaign
• Forward email messages from my campaign to your contacts
• Organize a “meet-and-greet” in your neighborhood so I can take my message directly to voters
• Post a yard sign in your yard
• Forward email messages from Bob’s campaign to your contacts

Thank you for your support.
