Mayor Kavanagh finally issued a formal apology and admitted her political meddling was beyond the pale. We forced her to account for the division she caused and she knows we are watching her every move from now on.

To the Mayor of Fountain Hills, Linda Kavanagh,
We demand an apology and an immediate halt to your divisive behavior.
When you took office you swore an oath to, "honor and respect the principles and spirit of representative democracy and to set a positive example of good citizenship by scrupulously observing the letter and spirit of laws, rules and regulations."
Our Town Elections are non-partisan and you have intentionally inserted politics into our elections by placing ads and posting numerous public comments identifying the political affiliation of each candidate in order to sway some of the town voters. You have made derogatory remarks toward Democrats and Liberals, including Independent residents of the town. You have also made clear your preference for Republican constituents who make up less than one-half of your constituents, while vilifying the majority of the town's residents.
In these times of stressful division you have let us down and let it be known that you have never represented all of Fountain Hills or its best interests.

The massive surge of support proves that the people of this town are sick of Mayor Kavanagh weaponizing her office against us. She cannot ignore this mountain of signatures forever while she continues to smear half the residents she is supposed to serve.

I moved to FH to be closer to my mom and raise my kids on a quiet community. What a shock it has been to discover the ugliness, pettiness, and divisiveness that has come along with it. For shame.
Linda I really like you as a person, but it makes me so sad to see the “politics of division” being played out in our small town. I would like to politely ask you to stop.
I am signing this petition to rebuke current Mayor Kavanagh's messages and mailings which make Fountain Hill's upcoming election a partisan contest. Governing our town is a non-partisan endeavor, and that is the fair way to make citizens feel welcome and willing to voice their opinions.
I am a fairly new resident of Arizona and Fountain Hills. Your recent partisanship is sending a signal to me (and others) that you do not care to represent me and all of your constituents. I am requesting an apology and a change in how the upcoming election is being approached. We all want good government that is run by the rules. Thank you, S. Lloyd
Typical. Encouraging the residents of FH to vote the party line in a NON-PARTISAN local election. All the more reason we need Ginny Dickey to be our next Mayor. She will listen to and represent ALL the residents.
Ditto to everyone's comments.
I did not expect to experience the hateful rhetoric that has been directed towards a candidate because she is running for Mayor, What are the major issues in this town that she has addressed but has been ignored? It is wrong to make personal attacks on a candidate, Ginny Dickey who is qualified to become Mayor of Fountain Hills. Members of a community here in Fountain Hills have chosen to vandalize their neighbors' property by spray painting the signs that were in the neighbors' yard only because the signs did not represent their choices for candidates. This is a terrible representation of Fountain Hills.

Embarrassed for our town that a sitting mayor engages in lies and accusations for the sole purpose of swaying an election. I thought the office of mayor would have been held to a higher standard. Apparently not. So sad.
