Keep Scottsdale Special

For years overdevelopment has taken a heavy toll on Scottsdale's special character and high quality of life. Clogged roads, blocked views, higher taxes and overburdened infrastructure have been the legacy of the overdevelopment previous City Council majorities have approved. and Scottsdale residents are tired of it. Even more, they are really tired of City Council candidates who run for election claiming to be resident friendly and then, once they take office, turn out to be total developer toadies!

If you are one of the large majority who want overdevelopment stopped you have an opportuniy in the upcoming election to do something about it! There are three candidates runiing for two seats on the City Council. One candidate, Raoul Zubia, has frimly aligned himself with the developer establishment. If he is elected to Council he will join the three cuurrent pro-development Councilmembers to form a solid pro-overdevelopment voting bloc which will make the apartment tidal wave of the last ten years look puny by comparison!

Fortunately you have an alternative - there are two proven candidates running who have a track record of opposing overdevelopment, Council incumbent Barry Graham and former State Senator Michelle Ugenti-Rita. If you turn out to elect these two candidates you can stop the overdevelopment runaway train, at least for the moment.

Want proof? Here are the verified records of the three candidates. It is easy to see which two are resident-friendly and which one is not! For all our sakes please choose wisely.

We at Keep Scottsdale Special will be working hard to elect Barry Graham and Michelle Ugenti-Rita and to defeat Raoul Zubia. But we need your help now more than ever to get our message out to Scottsdale voters. While money is tight we need whatever you can give to offset Zubia's special interest dollars.

One very important thing you can do to help is to spread the word about the upcoming election. Please talk with your family, friends and neighbors in Scottsdale who are concerned about the direction the current City Council majority is taking our beautiful city. Ask them to support Barry and Michelle. A recommendation from a trusted friend or relative is worth far more than any mailer or robocall. Call or email your contacts to let them know why you support Barry and Michelle, and post those reasons to your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media accounts. Feel free to use any of the material on this web site or on our Facebook page.

Thanks for your help! Former Scottsdale Councilman Bob Littlefield
