Fountain Hills needs good leadership to continue down the road of progress and prosperity. We can best insure this by re-electing Dennis Brown and Cecil Yates to the Town Council and, for the open seat, electing businessman and long-time community supporter, Art Tolis. I endorse all three.

The team of Brown, Yates and Kavanagh has had tremendous success working together for the past four years. We initiated more improvements to our town than had been seen in a long time, even with the limited revenue available. We took action to fix our roads, spruce up the parks and fund public safety and infrastructure. We beautified the Avenue median by turning it into a usable linear park. We also made long-needed changes to our ordinances to make Fountain Hills competitive with other communities vying for businesses. This will generate more tax revenue and provide jobs, goods and services to our residents.

Both Brown and Yates have proven expertise in economic development and all aspects of town government. As a team, we have worked with both the business community and the schools, knowing that the success of one depends highly on the other.

I am also supporting Art Tolis for the open council seat. I have known Art for many years and worked with him on the Chamber of Commerce board. Art Tolis is hard-working, a forward thinker and someone who knows how to get the job done. Art also has a solid background in economic development and has devoted many years to the betterment of our town.

We all want the same thing for Fountain Hills, to make it a great place to live, work and raise a family or to retire to when we’re ready. It takes a good, strong team working together to make that happen.

I am proud to have worked with all three of these gentlemen, whose character and love for our town are beyond reproach. That’s why I’m asking you to join me in supporting Dennis Brown, Cecil Yates and Art Tolis for Town Council.
