A note of thanks for candidates forum

I would like to first say congratulations to the Maricopa Women in Business, InMaricopa.com and the Maricopa Monitor for a well organized and executed mayoral, council candidate debate today (Saturday January 28, 2012).

I felt the presentation was highly professional and carried out with a strong level of confidence by both the moderators and candidates. Thank you very much for allowing the community to have a front row seat to the Maricopa election process and a firsthand preview of our neighbors who have stepped up to have a hand in guiding our city.

I am always in awe of how everyday citizens answer the call when the passion to serve rises up within them. It always takes me back to my years spent in the service of our county.
