As we begin to recover from the wide-ranging effects of the pandemic, our community will need leadership with clarity and vision. Tim Waters will be just such a leader. I have known and admired Tim for many years and have always been impressed by his integrity, intelligence, and vision. Tim has leadership experience as a successful school district superintendent and as CEO of a nationally known, educational services group. Tim’s leadership qualities have more recently been demonstrated in the thoughtful approach he brought to his service as a city council representative for Ward I, where I live.  I have every confidence that Tim’s leadership qualities would make him an exceptional mayor for the entire community.  

Tim’s willingness to listen to residents and gather a variety of viewpoints before making a decision has always impressed me, as has his commitment to fully understand the facts that are necessary to make informed and insightful decisions. Perhaps what I admire most about Tim is that he transcends petty politics and focuses on issues that matter to all of us. Tim will move the community forward with clarity and vision. Please join me in voting for Tim Waters for mayor on November 2nd.
