As your Mayor, I want to emphasize the importance of voting July 30, 2024 in the Primary/Municipal election, because the Mayor and Council races will be most likely be determined on that ballot! Here are voting details specific to Fountain Hills:
PLEASE VOTE!
There remain unfinished projects that deserve Mayor/Council’s close consideration, including the completion of Park Place and the downtown enhancement, improvements to our publicly-owned assets, strategic consideration of economic growth opportunities, and sustaining our current commercial spaces with creative solutions. I want to engage our community in those conversations.
I welcome the challenge to finalize a long-term strategy to reach acceptable standards for our streets, to assist with the establishment of our municipal fire department, to implement the new MCSO contract, and to advocate for the International Dark Sky Discovery Center, all while tending to our infrastructure needs, including Fountain Lake.
Other important goals include civility, unity, and predictable, fair governance, to ensure an equal voice and respect to all our neighbors. We can successfully move forward even with a variety of individual priorities by working together in good faith.
I believe I bring a measured, informed, and steady leadership style to our community, and I stand by my record as a decision-maker.
· Henry Leger, Former Town Council Member: “An experienced leader who as Mayor has demonstrated vision, integrity and a balanced temperament in working collectively with others in making our town a better place.”

As we approach this crossroads, the July 30 election will determine our direction. Let’s be thorough, thoughtful, reasoned, and strive to work together for the Town’s betterment.
Choosing me on July 30th can assure our Town moves forward .
This campaign season opponents and political action committees will attack me, spreading false information and inventing outrage:
• Labels divide the community.
• Facts matter. Be curious.
• Keep it local.
• Ask for solutions.
I have lived in Fountain Hills for four decades. I'm currently serving my third 2-year term as Mayor, and prior to that served two 4-year terms on Council. I also served two 4-year terms on the Fountain Hills Unified School District Board of Education.
