I am voting for Mark Stanton for Mayor of Paradise Valley for many reasons and I encourage you to do the same.
Mark is a lifelong resident of Paradise Valley and has chosen to make Paradise Valley his home and raise his family here. Mark has served as a member of our Town Council for the last 10 years and has developed a reputation for collaboration and common-sense judgement in how he approaches his role as a council member. Mark is widely liked and respected by his fellow Town Council members and he is known for listening to town residents and working to find solutions. Mark’s sole agenda as a council member is to continue to keep Paradise Valley a safe and beautiful town in which to live.
The mayor of Paradise Valley is a volunteer job and every former Paradise Valley mayor has had a full-time job while serving as the mayor. Mark is the CEO and president of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce and has successfully led the Scottsdale Chamber and served as a Paradise Valley Town Council member for years. As the treasurer of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce and a long-time resident of Paradise Valley, I have seen firsthand how effective Mark is at both leading the chamber and serving on the Paradise Valley Town Council. Mark is an experienced and effective business executive and he brings those management skills to his role as a member of the Paradise Valley Town Council.
Mark has demonstrated his dedication and good judgment in the last 10 years as a member of the Paradise Valley Town Council and he will clearly make a great mayor for our town. I encourage you to vote for Mark Stanton for the next mayor of Paradise Valley.
