OPINION — After 16 years of knowing Michelle Ugenti and working with her on numerous occasions during her service as my state legislator, I’ve seen firsthand how she approaches public service, complex issues and the responsibility of representing her constituents. That experience is why I support her candidacy for Scottsdale City Council.
Local government decisions shape our neighborhoods, influence traffic and development, determine how taxpayer dollars are spent, and help preserve the character of our community. Scottsdale needs leaders who understand the long-term consequences of those decisions.
Water security must be central to Scottsdale’s future. In Arizona, water is essential to our homes, economy and ability to sustain future generations. As uncertainty surrounding the Colorado River puts pressure on communities statewide, Scottsdale must carefully evaluate its options.
