LINETTE CAROSELLI
What makes you the best candidate for council?
What makes me the best candidate is my willingness to provide national programs for our youth, my willingness to listen to different viewpoints, and my willingness to act fairly when it comes to the best interests of the city.
What is the current council doing well?
I admire the way the current councilmembers have handled the challenges that come with a growing city.
What is the current council not doing well?
I would like to see more programming involving our youth.
What is your biggest concern about Maricopa’s future and why?
My biggest concern is our infrastructure not being able to keep up with the fast-paced growth of the city.
How has COVID-19 affected your campaign?
Social distancing made getting signatures a challenge. However, the good part was I had the honor to meet a lot of wonderful people (six feet apart) and listen to their concerns about Maricopa.
