I am passionate about preserving our quality of life and I am committed to our Town’s unique residential character and keeping promises that include ensuring strong public safety, protecting our iconic mountains and solving challenges while remaining fiscally conservative.

My heart is touched by our special community and the wonderful support I’ve received from our incredible residents. I have overserved firsthand how working together we have made a difference to preserve Paradise Valley.

I am a creative problem-solver to involve residents and stakeholders. I am a consensus builder and have 40 years of experience in leadership positions in volunteer positions and 30-years as a seasoned and experienced lawyer representing companies.

You can still vote at a Mairopca County voting center throughout the valley. There will be multiple voting centers open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Registered voters can cast a ballot at any of the locations.

I humbly ask for your vote to serve as Paradise Valley Mayor so I can continue to stand up for residents. And, I will do so with integrity and transparency. Thank you for your confidence and your vote.

Re-Elect Ellen Andeen to PV Town Council

Councilmember Ellen Andeen is up for re-election to Town Council for a second term. She is a native of PV and attended Cherokee and Chaparral schools. Ellen and her family’s long-term commitment to preserving Paradise Valley and naming Mummy Mountain is part of the fabric of our community.

Ellen’s father, Richard Andeen, ran on a preservation slate of town council candidates in the 1980s. The preservation slate won and they made a difference to preserve Paradise Valley. It’s great to see Ellen follow in her father’s footsteps. And Ellen’s very committed mother, Ann Andeen, was present. Ann is well known in the community for her public service and straightforward approach and historic perspective.

Ellen is a finance whiz, who thinks and speaks in numbers. She has a lot of integrity, character, and supports our Town’s ethics code and good governance practices. 

Ellen has served as a Paradise Valley town police volunteer, served as a treasurer on the FBI Citizen Academy, and served for two years as chair of ACOPS. 

I support Ellen Andeen for reelection to Paradise Valley Town Council and I’m proud to serve with her. She strongly supports the preservation of Paradise Valley and her voting record is consistent with that principle.

I have seen all the good work that Ellen has done during her past four years of service. Ellen is not afraid to stand up for what is right and will stand strong to represent our Town.

Elect Christine Labelle to PV Town Council

It is exciting to get to know Christine Labelle and her family who are committed to preserving Paradise Valley. Christine will be a great council member And I would welcome and be proud to serve with Christine. 

Christine digs in to learn an issue and find creative solutions. She doesn’t give up to solve an issue. Christine has already led grassroots efforts to stop Pacaso, the timeshare company that came to PV. Christine has stopped group homes and party houses and she does not live in an HOA.

Christine is an independent thinker who brings a broad array of experiences and people skills that will serve our Town well. 

Christine knows her compass regarding preservation so she will not be easily swayed or get caught up in gobbledygook language that is used to try to mislead. Instead, she does her homework.

Christine is an experienced businesswoman who has great experience in real estate and zoning and she also has led and been a part of the negotiations team for a second major airline for many, many years. She is used to working with lots of people with varying views to achieve solutions.

Christine grew up in the town for past 45 years and went to both Kiva and Cherokee schools. Her parents have been active in Paradise Valley since the 1970s. She and her husband have twin daughters that they also raised in the Town who attended PV schools. 

Christine also serves on the Town’s historic committee and was actively involved in preparing for and working on the Town’s recent 60th-anniversary celebration. 

Christine advocates upgrading the Town’s website so it’s more user-friendly for residents and she said she would be happy to work on that project. It is great to see such a quality candidate step up to serve on the council and do good for the Town.

Please vote yes on proposition 467 to ratify Paradise Valley’s general plan.

Arizona state law mandates that our Town adopt a “comprehensive, long-range general plan for the development of the municipality,” These plans must be updated and adopted by the voters every 10 years. This is our time to vote on it.
