Shemanske: A leader who wants the best for Scottsdale

This is a time when we need leaders like John Little because John cares so deeply for the City of Scottsdale and wants to see the city be the best.

I have known John and his wife Lori for 16 years. I first met John when I moved to my current home, he was the first person I met on moving day and offered his help immediately.

Over the years John and Lori have always been generous of their time and help. They are always off to help raise money and pitch in for the charities they treasure. They are genuine.

Through John’s vast connections with the city he has helped neighbors with issues within our neighborhood. He always knows who to call for assistance; getting to the right person that can help. He cuts through red tape and provides a plan to resolve the situation.

John has also been helpful for my business assisting us to understand an issue that was coming before the City Council, explaining the process thoroughly and helping with people we could talk to.

One of John’s greatest talents is being a reflective listener for all sides working to find the win-win in situations. The City of Scottsdale needs a person like John Little on the City Council to contemplate the complex issues that come before Council, listen to all sides, be collaborative and decisive.

He cares deeply about this community and wants the best for it and its citizens.

I will be voting for John Little and ask that you vote for him as well.
