I am writing to endorse the candidacy of Tait Elkie for Town Council.

In these difficult economic times, I cannot think of a better candidate to guide Fountain Hills to fiscal stability. Tait is a fiscal conservative who knows how to keep government spending down and keep money in the taxpayers’ pockets, something we all need now.

I have spoken to Tait many times at Fountain Hills Republican Club meetings and many other town gatherings that Tait regularly attends.

Tait is an intelligent, educated candidate who knows Fountain Hills and its residents well. He is prepared to assume a Town Council seat and make the difficult choices that the job often entails.

I urge Fountain Hills voters to elect Tait Elkie to the town council and cast a vote for transparent government and fiscal responsibility.
