Guest Editorial: Scottsdale City Council – Caputi and McAllen

By Linda Milhaven

Hello again,

I got several emails asking about the Scottsdale City Council race so I am reaching out again.

I am voting for Tammy Caputi and Maryann McAllen for City Council.

Tammy is finishing her first term on City Council and has served with distinction.  She is a smart and thoughtful businessperson.  She listens, researches the issues, understands complex issues and makes decisions that are in the best interests of all of Scottsdale.

Her accomplishments are many and you can learn more on her website TammyCaputi.com.

Maryann has a long history of service to Scottsdale including as a Member of the Parks and Recreation Commission and as a city employee.  She understands the City, our challenges and knows how to get things done.

You can learn more on her website. MaryannMcAllenForScottsdale.com

You might have missed it.  Tom Durham left the race and threw his support to Tammy and Maryann.  Tom has been an effective Councilmember who makes decisions for the greatest good.  I am sorry to see him leave the race but I respect that, again, he is doing what is best for our City.

I also included a link to the Arizona Republic article that explains Tom’s reasoning. Scottsdale’sDurham drops out of council race during a debate. Why? (azcentral.com)

City Council races are non-partisan.  It is important that we elect people who have demonstrated positive leadership in our community.  Both of Tammy and Maryann have contributed to making Scottsdale a special place.   I hope you will support Tammy Caputi and Maryann McAllen.
