My favorite six words are, “With liberty and justice for all”. Having served our great nation in uniform under a limited liability contract for 20 years, I cannot think of a more humbling experience or higher cause. Anyone who truly knows me and understands my heart is aware that I place no higher honor than that of serving my country. Because of that, I’ve found that serving the community comes very natural and without fanfare. It is my sincere desire to continue where ever I am called upon to serve.
Men and women of conviction deeply believe in what they are doing and put their reputations on the line. This conviction communicates itself intuitively. Where there is focused energy and tangible sincerity, you will find growth and prosperity, each of which I place a high premium. Maricopa, by reputation, is becoming a model Arizona City. Our reputation for creative and cooperative local government is resonating across the state as members of our governing body are sought after for leadership roles and responsibilities. Maricopa is Arizona!
Anyone that steps outside of his or her comfort zone and takes on the tasks required to run for political office deserves recognition for political courage. Although many still consider this a noble role, there a still those distractors poised to underplay the sacred trust between representation and expectations. It takes strength of character to stand before an audience to share one’s platform and vision.
Strong subject knowledge and supportive background data are the keys to a clearly articulated message. I believe I have the ability to clearly articulate my message, regardless of the subject or medium and have been very successful in developing and presenting my intended message throughout my private and political career.
Come be a part of the continuing legacy that Councilmember Wade has built in support of the City of Maricopa.
“Proud History. Prosperous Future.”
