If you live in Tempe, I hope you are aware of the election coming up on Tuesday, March 13th. As residents, REALTORS and business owners in our community, it is important that we elect people that not only love the community but have the leadership skills and business experience to ensure Tempe remains a great city and that we continue to improve upon the quality of life we love and expect.

In the race for Mayor I hope you will join me in voting for Michael Monti on the 13th. I have followed this campaign very closely and have attended several meetings with all three of the candidates. I have no doubt that Mr. Monti is the clear choice when comparing the qualifications of who is best for our neighborhoods, schools, business owners and all aspects of our city. Below is an article written by our current mayor and a city council member that are VERY familiar with the qualifications for the job of mayor. I think it’s very important to have the support of the business community and of people that understand how Tempe works.

Monti Is The Right Choice For Tempe
By Mayor Hugh Hallman and Councilwoman Onnie Shekerjian

Arizona Restaurant Hall of Fame inductee and Monti’s La Casa Vieja owner Michael Monti is unquestionably the right person to be Tempe’s next Mayor.

We convey this not to denigrate someone who has served on the Tempe City Council with us for years. We appreciate Mark Mitchell’s service. We do so because having watched Mark and Michael Monti in action we believe Monti to be the better choice.

Why?

First, leadership. Michael Monti owns and leads a Tempe landmark. He employs 100 people. He must balance a budget every day. Such business acumen would be a powerful addition to the Tempe City Council.

Second, ideas. Have you followed his campaign? We like to think we have run thoughtful campaigns for office here in Tempe. Well, Michael Monti may have eclipsed us. From innovative ideas like harnessing our community’s great volunteerism to aid neighborhoods and seniors, to banning texting while driving to organizing a public beach at Town Lake through private not public contributions, Michael Monti has put forth a bold agenda to, as he says,”take Tempe from good to great.”

Third, achievement. Monti owns the anchor of Mill Avenue. When you think about it, being a restaurant owner is pretty good training to be a mayor. You have to listen to customers and get it right or you’ll go out of business. Well, Michael and his family have been getting it right for 55 years. He helped found Local First Arizona, an important business group dedicated to supporting home grown entrepreneurs. He’s been endorsed by the Tempe Chamber of Commerce. And his induction as the youngest member ever voted into the Arizona Restaurant Hall of Fame speaks volumes, as does his noble commitment to historic preservation.

When a candidate is this compelling, it causes one to respectfully decline support for those we have served with in favor of those we believe can serve Tempe better.

We believe Michael Monti is that person. But don’t just take our word for it. Compare Michael Monti and Mark Mitchell yourself. A quick review of Michael can be had at www.monti4mayor.com. We think you will conclude, as we have, that there is only one choice that has the ability and the ideas to enhance your quality of life.

Learn a little more about Michael Monti in the video below.

A partial list of Arizona leaders and organizations supporting Michael Monti include:

• Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman
• Tempe Council Member Onnie Shekerjian
• Barry Goldwater Jr.
• Tempe Democrat and Former Council Member Barbara Sherman
• Tempe’s first elected Mayor, Rudy Campbell
• The Tempe Chamber of Commerce
• Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne
• Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery
• Congressman David Schweikert
• Former Tempe City Council Member ‘Hut’ Hutson
• Former State Rep. Laura Knaperek
• Tempe Democrat Carl Hayden
• Former Tempe Councilman Joseph Lewis
• Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane

Below, you will find some photos from the campaign trail. Take a look. Tempe needs strong leadership, we do not need a career politician, we don’t need outdated ideas. I strongly urge you to get out and vote for Michael Monti for mayor of Tempe.
