Ballots are out! We have seen and heard both candidates for mayor of Fountain Hills. Both are great people, but only one really has the experience and track record to lead our town in the direction needed over the next few years.

Cecil Yates has the experience and the proven track record of success leading organizations. He’s not only been recognized for his accomplishments, but noted as an industry leader within several industries. As posted by Ranking Arizona, his division was ranked number one for property management. AZ Business Leaders Magazine listed him as a respected and influential leader for 2019. Arizona Real Estate Magazine listed him as “People to Know” in commercial real estate for 2017. He also consults for multiple cities in the Valley for their economic development needs.

This recognition goes on, but more importantly is his down-to-earth demeanor about how to work with people to get stuff done. Since moving to Fountain Hills, he has been working with several different groups including the Chamber, Planning and Zoning, Make a Difference Day, Sunridge Canyon HOA, Fountain Hills Little League and town council. If you’ve heard him speak or visited his website, votececil.com, you’ll see that he has a solid plan for success to keep Fountain Hills’ small town feel we all want, but achieve the community-approved goals created.

He’s not just talk, but a person of action and knows how to bring people together to accomplish goals! His family are wonderful people and also very active in the community. Nancy, his wife, is a trauma flight nurse whose goal in life is to help people in need. Their children, Sophia and Mason, are students that both work in town. Cecil is the right candidate, at the right time. Vote Cecil!
