On January 14th, I was honored to be sworn in as your Scottsdale City Councilmember, with my son by my side—a moment that holds deep personal significance and one I will cherish forever. Thank you to every voter who placed their trust in me. Your belief in my vision of a “Families First” Scottsdale inspires me to serve with dedication and purpose daily.
From our very first council meeting, my colleagues and I have been hard at work ensuring Scottsdale’s future remains as bright as its legacy. Together, we are safeguarding what makes our city extraordinary while building a foundation for future generations. Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far:
- Budget Review Commission: We established a citizen’s commission to advise the Council on Scottsdale’s operating and capital budgets, including revenue forecasts, taxes, and fees. This ensures transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility while prioritizing the needs of our residents.
- Community Safety Subcommittee: A three-member Council Subcommittee was created to analyze public safety initiatives, regulations, and enforcement actions, focusing on reducing public nuisances and enhancing safety across our city. This committee is critical to enhancing policing and public safety in Scottsdale.
- Sustainability Task Force: To promote Scottsdale’s long-term viability, we repealed the previous overreaching and unrealistic Sustainability Plan and directed the formation of a Sustainability Task Force. This group will address key fiscal, population, and conservation challenges to keep Scottsdale thriving.
- Updated Council Procedures: We amended the Council’s rules to ensure greater focus and professionalism during public meetings.
- Interim City Manager Appointment: We welcomed Greg Caton as Scottsdale’s Interim City Manager, ensuring strong leadership as we search for a permanent appointee.
Celebrating Leadership
Congratulations to Mayor Lisa Borowsky and my fellow new council members Jan Dubauskas and Maryann McAllen. I look forward to collaborating with them to make Scottsdale the best it can be.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve. I remain committed to upholding the trust you’ve placed in me and to delivering on our shared vision for Scottsdale. Together, we’ll protect what we love about our city while embracing its future.
