I was at the candidates forum held at Town Hall the afternoon of June 17 for Paradise Valley mayor — Anna Thomasson stood out.
Although the other candidates gave competent answers to most of the questions, only Anna Thomasson answered each question with specific facts related to her knowledge and experience.
For instance, regarding dealing with the state legislature, it was clear only Anna Thomasson spent time there addressing current town issues and developed the relationships needed to help Paradise Valley in the next few years. Whether the issue related to short-term rentals, photo radar, 1-acre zoning, or any other matter in the town’s interest, Anna Thomasson is the one who has “walked the walk.”
No other candidate could match her commitment to the town’s interest, not to mention her ability and insight.
As Anna Thomasson said, she’s “all in” and fully committed to serving the people of Paradise Valley. She will be the full-time mayor the Paradise Valley needs.
Given her extensive background in corporate America and her proven willingness and commitment to serve, Anna Thomasson is the obvious choice for mayor and best bargain Paradise Valley can get.
