Peggy McMahon announced last week she will seek a second term on the Fountain Hills Town Council.

First elected in 2020, McMahon brings experience and knowledge to the council.  She has resided in FH for 23 years and is active in the community—serving on various boards of directors, committees, local clubs, and volunteering positions. McMahon believes her tenure on council has demonstrated she is a voice of reason on the council and is a strong and steady leader who listens to all residents.

McMahon said her priorities will continue to focus on funding, repairing and maintaining the town’s infrastructure, supporting the new fire department, working with MCSO to carry out its safety contract, and working closely with officers to make the town a safer place to live, work and play. McMahon supports the Dark Sky Discovery Center, fosters business sustainability and innovative growth and has worked to make the downtown area more welcoming and dynamic.

McMahon will continue to address the town’s capital improvement projects. She believes in creating diverse housing, enhancing the downtown area, maintaining the iconic fountain and lake, optimizing economic and business growth opportunities, finding creative ways to improve on commercial areas and refining parks and recreation properties to remain a national award-winning community services town.

McMahon enjoys serving on the Valley Metro Board of Directors, East Valley Partnership Board of Directors, AZ League of Cities and Town Neighborhoods’ Sustainability and Quality of Life Committee, and the town’s Traffic and Pedestrian and Safety Committee. 

She was instrumental in naming Fountain Hills one of 17 statewide recognized Dementia Friendly Towns and co-chairs the town’s Dementia Friendly Town Committee.  She continually works with the Maricopa Association of Government and other non-profits to address the Town’s homeless population. McMahon is also a graduate of FH’s Leadership Academy.

“I look forward to continuing to contribute to Fountain Hills with strong and consistent leadership.  I am proud of my accomplishments and want to continue to build a better and stronger town,” McMahon said.
