Knecht: I will work hard to improve our communities

Posted

These are tough times — for everyone. Nothing seems normal. It feels like the earth is shifting beneath our feet every day. The news is horrible. The path forward is unclear. It’s hot. And there is a growing lack of grace and civility among neighbors. Worries about our kids, our parents, our jobs, our health, and the future are legitimate. We’re starving for a sense of control.

Meanwhile, the Arizona State Legislature? They’re so dysfunctional and partisan that they can’t even agree to meet to talk about how to help our communities. Our current elected leaders play games with politics, as if what happens has no more consequence than which team wins a trophy.

When in reality, people in our communities are struggling. They need focused, creative problem solving and leadership to get us through a global pandemic and get Arizonans back to work.

People’s lives and livelihoods are at stake. We deserve better.

I can’t magically make COVID-19 disappear. But, I can be your voice in the Arizona House of Representatives.

You should be able to rest easy, knowing that someone with valuable skills and experience will represent you, will have your back, and will work tirelessly to fulfill the vision of a bright and stable future. If you’re an Arizonan, I want you to succeed. And I know that for you to succeed does not mean someone else must fail.

I want you to reap the benefits of a thriving economy. I want you to know your parents will get the healthcare they need, and your children and grandchildren will get a world-class education. I don’t want you to forgo groceries because your prescriptions cost too much. I want to help local businesses to prosper, and to have more high-paying jobs and cool amenities right here in the West Valley.

In the last 25 years, I have been recruited, elected, appointed, and hired by impactful, prestigious, nonpartisan organizations that counted on me to deliver successful outcomes for them. I am offering to bring my skills and experiences to the state legislature to help get Arizona back on its feet; help the Northwest Valley meet its fullest potential; bring civility, integrity and professionalism to our government; and help make your life easier and more secure.

If my resume reflects the kind of service you expect from a community leader; if this is the kind of hard-working, engaged leadership you believe that you and your family deserve; then I hope you will vote for me, and only me, for the Arizona House in LD21.

The future is in your hands.
