Cieniawski: It is important that we get our next leaders right

Choosing the best leaders right now is more important than ever before.

I am supporting John Little as a City Council candidate for his long standing, deep, and thoughtful commitment to support our community. I have had the privilege to work side by side with John and I have been impressed with his history of experience and devotion to work hard and improve Scottsdale.

John’s vision will move our city to a better place. I appreciate John’s ideas to include education in our city’s General Plan as this shows his understanding of the connection between educating our residents and preparing them for a meaningful future.

John Little has pledged to rebuild the relationship between the city and the Scottsdale Unified School District. This will be very important with our projected fiscal shortfalls and the need to shore up facility and personnel efficiencies.

The fact that John believes the city should adopt a goal of becoming the “Healthiest City in America” shows his value for the quality of life we all value as residents.

I choose John Little for his tested and true dedication to all of Scottsdale.

Editor’s Note: Julie Cieniawski is a longtime resident of Scottsdale, a Scottsdale Schools teacher and candidate for the Scottsdale Unified School District Governing Board in the Nov. 3 general election.
