We need quality leadership on our Town Council, and we are delighted that Tait Elkie is running for one of the three open seats. He has so many positives!

Tait’s leadership abilities are easily documented by the positive contributions he has made to our town while holding many leadership positions in various volunteer groups in Fountain Hills.

He currently is president of Sunset Kiwanis and serves on the boards of several organizations, most recently being elected to the Fountain Hills Community Foundation. We personally are serving on one board with Tait, where he is the current chief financial officer.

Once people get to know Tait, they have confidence in his ability and his leadership qualities.

In this difficult financial time, it is crucial that we elect someone who will control spending and eliminate nonessentials.

Tait is a fiscal conservative dedicated to establishing transparency in government spending and insisting on accurate accounting of taxpayer dollars. We need a councilman who will not rush into proposing new taxes. His core belief is that governments should govern less and spend less.

Please vote for Tait Elkie. His election will be a benefit for all of us in Fountain Hills.
