It is with great enthusiasm I support Ginny Dickey’s candidacy for mayor of Fountain Hills. Having worked with Ginny during my tenure as superintendent of the Fountain Hills School District from 2002-2007, I can attest to her many leadership skills that qualify her to serve as mayor for our town.

First, Ginny is a devoted citizen to Fountain Hills. While living here for 34 years, she has been an active and integral part of the community by serving as a member of the school district’s governing board, serving as a member of the town’s council and being involved in countless community activities and organizations.

She demonstrates great strength in the areas of communication and collaboration by creating platforms for citizens to give input to the running of our institutions. She thoroughly studies each issue set before her and seeks ideas to solve problems before moving forward in her decision-making. Ginny genuinely listens to her constituents and firmly believes in inclusiveness when seeking input on issues.

Second, Ginny has also served our community by representing Fountain Hills in the greater Arizona arena. Having worked for the AZ Department of Environmental Quality, Ginny interfaced with many of our state’s leaders and brought forward our town’s fine reputation as a place that values quality of life. Keeping our natural resources of clean air and dark skies is important to Ginny and her connections to legislators in our state have aided us in this arena, as well as many others.

It is always good to see a candidate who is not afraid to debate issues and to listen to others’ concerns. Ginny Dickey is the quality candidate who will inclusively lead our town on its continued path of excellence. I urge you to vote for Ginny in the upcoming mayoral race this coming August.
