Jeff’s Priorities

Restore Civility

Town Council should model professionalism, not partisanship.

Jeff believes local government works best when people listen, collaborate, and treat each other with basic respect. Too often, council meetings have become combative and divided, distracting from the real work of serving residents.

Jeff will:

  • Promote respectful dialogue and collaboration

  • Keep politics out of local decision-making

  • Refocus the Council on residents — not parties or PACs

  • Use “Call to the Public” as a meaningful tool to truly hear community concerns

Because Fountain Hills deserves leadership that solves problems together — not fights.

Practice Responsible Financial Planning

Jeff brings years of hands-on budget and capital planning experience.

He understands that every tax dollar matters and that kicking problems down the road only costs more later. From roads and public safety equipment to parks and schools, smart planning protects both services and taxpayers.

Jeff will:

  • Support balanced, transparent budgets

  • Plan ahead for infrastructure and equipment needs

  • Prioritize maintenance and capital improvements

  • Avoid unnecessary spending or short-term fixes

His goal is simple: make decisions today that future generations will thank us for.

Strengthen Our Community

A healthy town is one where families thrive, schools stay strong, and businesses succeed year-round.

Jeff wants Fountain Hills to remain a welcoming place for young families, retirees, and small businesses alike. He also recognizes the need to stabilize the local economy during slower summer months and keep our town vibrant all year.

Jeff will:

  • Encourage policies that attract and retain young families

  • Support strong schools and community services

  • Look for creative ways to support local businesses

  • Focus on practical improvements that enhance daily life for residents

Because strong communities aren’t built on national politics — they’re built locally, neighbor by neighbor.
