I have personally listened to all of the candidates on this list and have been impressed with their outstanding qualifications, intelligence and dedication to making improvements in each of their fields.

All of our lives will be affected by the outcome of each of these elections. All of our lives would be enriched with better education, a more proficient treasurer, a sheriff dedicated to serving the entire community, a recorder making sure our elections are fair and flawless, a county attorney who will hold people accountable, experts representing us on water issues in Arizona (very soon to be a hot button topic) and knowledgeable representatives monitoring the big utilities.

The stakes are huge this year. There are candidates running who don’t believe in climate change or government or regulation. For the sake of your future and your children’s future, check the facts, do a little homework and vote for the most qualified candidates. We are lucky that these excellent people are willing to go to work for us!
