"I am ready to serve. The latest county vote total, 84 to 54 makes the outcome seem fairly certain that the people of Tusayan have selected me as Mayor.  My sincere thanks to everyone who voted for me, as well as for those who did not. That’s because I will be Mayor for ALL of Tusayan.  Please join me in working together to build a better Tusayan in which the sales tax dollars will be used to benefit residents. We will work in earnest to accomplish projects such as the sports complex. We will make sure public safety gets the funding needed to keep us safe. And we will undertake new initiatives to bring quality housing to Tusayan.  I want to thank Mayor Sanderson for running a spirited campaign and for his seven years of service to our community as Councilmember and Mayor. There is lots of good work to be done and I look forward to it. I am eager to bring about a local government that works for YOU not the few."
