Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane is seeking a third and final term. "I have led our community, with the help of citizens and city council, from trying times to better times. Now and for my last term as Mayor, and with further assistance from those I serve and work with, I want to lead us to the best of times. Our citizens from south to north and every neighborhood in between deserve the best city in America,” says Mayor Lane.

Over the past four years Scottsdale has received national accolades for its parks system, business environment, quality of life and for being one of the best run cities in the country. At the same time Scottsdale built, purchased and revitalized its greatest tourism infrastructure assets: the TPC,  West World’s (multi-use) Equestrian Center, Scottsdale’s Museum of the West and moved Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve to near completion. All with the judicious use of existing dedicated tax receipts, dedicated capital reserves, dedicated state dollar-sharing growing smarter grant funds and tourist tax dollars dedicated to tourism related infrastructure.

“I sent a message when I became Mayor. Scottsdale is open for business. We will not sacrifice quality but we will work with you if you want to work in Scottsdale. We are open for business because without a strong economy we would not have the revenues for our public safety, parks, neighborhood services and quality of life our residents deserve and demand. Businesses small and large are flocking to our city. That’s a tribute to the community created by those before us, and advanced now in that tradition by those currently here."

Though the election won’t take place until August, 2016, the campaign is seeking volunteers and contributors. For more information go to www.Lane4Scottsdale2016.com.
