"Pair battles City Hall over Desert Foothills pickleball"

This was the front-page headline of our neighborhood paper
.
For nearly a year, Jill and Carrie have been lobbying the Phoenix Parks
and Recreation Department to complete the Desert Foothills Park and
install pickleball courts. They have jumped through hoops, researched
the cost of the courts, submitted data showing demand exceeds supply,
received community support, and talked to all the council members.

This is one example of the process citizens go through as they weave
their way through a maze of bureaucratic red tape.

Elected officials say they want the community's input, but are they
listening?
I am, which is why I went to a Sunday event at the park to meet with
Carrie and other supports to listen as they explained their plan in
detail.

One thing is clear, this isn't only a conversation about pickleball
courts. It is acknowledging that Phoenix is rapidly growing. We need
responsible design so people can enjoy and benefit from work and play in
their community.

Our parks must offer an outdoor environment with updated playground
equipment for all abilities to enjoy, dog enclosures, shade, and
exercise activities to support current interests.

I'm not sure if the park will receive funding for the pickleball
courts this year but when I am your Councilwoman, I will continue to
advocate for the courts and a way to streamline the City Hall process.

I believe an elected representative must be boots on the ground. As your
Councilwoman I will continue to be an active participant in the
community and not a bystander

This is why I am asking you directly for your support.

November is right around the corner, and we can't afford to be
complacent. Reaching our fundraising goal will allow us to meet with
more voters and talk about the issues that matter most to our community:
Public safety, protect air, land, water and wildlife, affordable and
attainable housing, parks and a community that is united and not
divided.

Will you join our team by donating $15 to help us reach every voter?

Thank you for your trust and support,

Joan Greene
