Manross: I'm proud to support Whitehead

Posted

Do you know who you will vote for in the Scottsdale City Council election on Aug. 2? I will be supporting Councilwoman Solange Whitehead.

I am proud to, once again, chair her campaign. Here are just a few of the many reasons why.

She actually listens and responds to the ideas and concerns of residents.

She fights for quality development in order to preserve our unique community character and our history.

She continually works to protect our neighborhoods to stop the erosion of our quality of life.

She is vigilant in protecting our “one of a kind” McDowell Sonoran Preserve.

She demands fiscal discipline at City Hall.

She strongly supports public safety.

She understands that a clean, safe, attractive community is why we moved here in the first place!

I have proudly participated in this community since the ‘70s and have known and worked with all of the elected officials since then as a volunteer, a commissioner, a councilwoman and as mayor.

I look to support someone who is intellectually honest and is willing to go to the mat for what he or she believes. That describes Solange.

Please join me in voting for Solange Whitehead for Scottsdale City Council.
