Hi,
Recently I was interviewed by David Gordon from Blog for Arizona about
running for Phoenix City Council District Six. I shared my visions on
building a better tomorrow for our families and businesses.
Over the next three days, I'd like to share pieces of that interview
with you.
Today, we begin with a brief introduction including what I'm running
on and who I am:
What I Am Running On: It's time to stop the division, stop the political
bickering and move our city forward with a bold vision, common-sense
solutions, and compassion.
Who I Am: Phoenix native, successful business person, community
volunteer and animal rescue activist. If I am elected to succeed the
retiring Sal DiCiccio I will stand for safety, security, and our Arizona
values.
I am committed to:
* Helping the homeless and reducing their numbers.
* Promoting expanded attainable and healthy housing.
* Fostering workplace development and small business assistance.
* Fighting corruption.
* Supporting public safety and law enforcement accountability.
* Championing clean energy sustainable infrastructure and fighting rises
in pollution.
* Expanding community infrastructure such as increased bike lanes,
expanded shading for bus stops and parks, and well-maintained sidewalks
and community parks.
David started off asking me the reasons I am running and what are my
qualifications:
1) What are at least two reasons you want to run for a term on the
Phoenix City Council?
"I am running for Phoenix City Council because the current health,
economic and political crisis has made it clear to all of us local
elections matter. I am passionate and focused on the needs of the
community and I am a problem solver. I know I can make a positive
difference in our District and have a city that is inclusive for all."
2) What are at least two qualifications you have to serve on the Phoenix
City Council?
"I am a Phoenix native. I grew up and live in District Six.

I have seen firsthand how Phoenix has grown and changed. The
neighborhood where I grew up used to have fruit orchards. Now the SR 51
runs through it. When I moved to Ahwatukee in 1993, the corner of Ray
and I-10 was literally a dump. We didn't have stores or homes west of
the freeway for miles. Obviously, that is no longer the case, but we do
need additional housing that include safe communities, development for
the change in community needs and to protect our environment.
****
I built a 34-year business that started with only $500 which was enough
to buy business cards and stationery. I know the dreams and struggles of
those who want their American dream. I can help with reducing red-tape
and ideas how to strengthen their business.
****
My clients range from small by design businesses to billion-dollar
corporations. They work with me because when they have a problem, I can
help solve it.
****
In the late '60s, my grandmother was the second woman to be elected to
Phoenix City Council. From a young age, I was taught the value of public
service and community-building.
****
My real-life examples show the importance of knowing the history of the
community and I have the proven skills to solve the problems of today
and tomorrow. I have a bold vision, common-sense solutions, and
compassion to solve our daunting challenges which will move District Six
to a better future."
Stay tuned for Part 2 tomorrow where I talk about three of the important
kitchen table issues the people of District Six are talking about.
