OPINION — I recently had the good fortune to meet Catherine Mirick, who is running for Fountain Hills Town Council. She represents something increasingly rare in local politics: genuine independence paired with a strong commitment to community.
At a time when many feel decisions are driven more by partisan interests than by residents’ needs, her campaign offers a refreshing alternative.
Catherine has built her platform around listening first — engaging with neighbors, small business owners, and community groups to understand what truly matters. Yet in our current system, meaningful public input is limited.
