I have found it somewhat difficult to find successful and positive role models in the world today. Because these individuals are few and far between, I feel incredibly fortunate that a woman I see as a role model is a candidate for mayor of Fountain Hills.

I became familiar with Ginny Dickey in 2016 when she became a write-in candidate for mayor in that election, because she knew it was important for the residents of Fountain Hills to have a choice when voting for mayor. I was very impressed by this, but have gained even more respect for her over the past two years.

Ginny is an extremely accomplished woman. So accomplished, that she was inducted into the Fountain Hills Hall of Fame in 2010. Ginny has experience as a councilwoman in Fountain Hills, and also a degree in mathematics from Tufts University. More importantly to me, Ginny and her family love Fountain Hills. Her children were raised here, went to school here and are successful adults. Ginny also has numerous nieces and nephews that live and work in Fountain Hills.

With Ginny as our mayor, we can rest easy, as she wants the best for all residents. There will be no need to worry about ulterior motives or conflicts of interest. It is time for a change in leadership, and Ginny is just the person to make that happen!
