I first met Linda Kavanagh many years ago during the time my parents owned Sorelli’s from the Vine. Many residents will remember the great times customers had making their own custom labeled wine.

Linda was genuinely gracious and very supportive of the new business in town. She worked tirelessly to help make this struggling new business a huge success. She was not a public servant then, just a wonderful, caring volunteer who dedicated countless hours to help businesses, charitable organizations and numerous other residents. She is that same person today!

Later, I had the opportunity to speak with her one-on-one about the community of Fountain Hills and I walked away more impressed than ever. She demonstrated to me how much she cares about the town. She explained how important it is to develop the community so that young families such as mine can afford to live in it. She is a woman of great integrity and works tirelessly.

From her I learned the importance of working with others, and that every person has a right to be heard. Folks, it’s easy to say a politician can blow smoke, but you can’t fake authenticity and results.

Go Linda! Go Mayor Kavanagh! You have my support and I pledge to encourage others to do the same. Re-elect this wonderful, genuine woman Mayor Linda Kavanagh.
