Dear Friends:
Every time I run for office my opponents always run a lying, negative campaign against me. That’s because they have no choice. They can’t attack me on the issues because the core issues of my campaign – stopping toxic overdevelopment and fiscal responsibility – are exactly what Scottsdale voters want! So, my opponents have to make stuff up to try to discredit me.
And they are starting their attacks on me early in this campaign. Their latest comes from failed former Councilwoman Betty Janik, who claims I never helped the effort to defeat the Desert Discovery Center (DDC). Anyone who has been following Scottsdale politics for the last 10 years knows this is not true. But if anyone has any doubts about my efforts to prevent commercial development in the Preserve, here is what an independent, credible source, former columnist Laurie Roberts, had to say:
When the City Council was poised to plop a $68 million Desert Discovery Center inside the McDowell Sonoran Preserve a few years later, Littlefield was horrified. “To allow this to be built in the preserve would break the promises made when voters were asked to tax themselves almost a billion dollars to purchase the land for the preserve,” the by-then ex-councilman wrote in 2017.
Bottom line, I was in the fight to prevent commercial development in the Preserve from the very beginning contrary to Betty’s false claims!
While we are on the subject of credible sources, Betty certainly does not qualify as one. Once she got on Council she voted for over 2000 apartments. Hardly resident friendly! No wonder she shudders at the thought of opponents of overdevelopment such as me and Councilmember Barry Graham, who Betty also attacks, being elected to Council!
I believe the overwhelming support I have received so far is a result of how outraged citizens are about the bloated Axon apartment project and the unprecedented concessions made to Axon by the City Council majority. This terrible deal has awakened the Scottsdale voting public to the true threat overdevelopment poses to Scottsdale’s special character and high quality of life and especially to our water supply. And they want me to return to the City Council so I can keep fighting against this toxic overdevelopment! Voters know because of my 20-year record of public service i am the proven commodity you can trust to stay true to my resident-friendly promises once I get in office!
