Do you know Ginny Dickey? I do.

Ginny has been a resident of Fountain Hills for 35 years. She attends all the Fountain Hills activities, is very visible, accessible, a great listener, open, honest, inclusive and she has wonderful leadership skills. With all of these attributes, I think Ginny is the best candidate for mayor of Fountain Hills. Ginny will bring transparency back to our town council.

Ginny has been active in our community since 1983. She was involved in Fountain Hills planning sessions, served two terms as a town councilwoman, was a board member of Fountain Hills Unified School District and twice was the president of the board. She was a charter member of the Fountain Hills Cultural Council board for seven years, served nine years on the Community Theater Board (earning their Founders Award in 2009), and was inducted into the Fountain Hills Hall of Fame in 2010. You just can’t beat that local record!

This is not about politics. It’s about having the most qualified person as mayor of Fountain Hills. Simply put – we need Ginny! She is passionate about the future of Fountain Hills and she’s spot-on about priorities for protecting and enhancing our community.

Join me in voting for Ginny Dickey.

By law, Cecil Yates needs to resign his council seat by May 30 to run for mayor. But if he doesn’t resign until after April 30, the current council will appoint his replacement, who would then serve until Dec. 2020. Cecil should do the right thing and resign before April 30 so that “we the people” have the opportunity to vote for the candidate we want to replace him on Aug. 28. If Cecil refuses to do this, why would you ever vote for him as mayor?
