Gov. Brewer endorses Jerry Weiers for Glendale Mayor
Retiring Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs also backs Weiers
Jerry Weiers, the top vote getter in the primary election, has been given the nod by Glendale resident and Arizona Governor, Jan Brewer. “Leadership requires the will to make the tough decisions and the judgment to make the right ones. Jerry Weiers has demonstrated both traits as a legislator who built consensus, worked regionally to benefit his constituents and helped put Arizona’s finances back in order. I hope Glendale residents will join me in supporting Jerry Weiers for Mayor.”
Jerry Weiers issues page can be seen here. His opponent Manuel Cruz, an unsuccessful candidate for state mine inspector, is endorsed by far left unions and mostly out-of-town liberals who do not represent the values of Glendale. Cruz offers no vision for the city, but a long litany of baseless charges against the well respected former Glendale state lawmaker, Jerry Weiers.
In a pathetic campaign, Cruz puts a face on the old adage if you have nothing of substance to show, tear down those who do.
On the Glendale ballot will be a measure that clearly delineates the two. Voters will have the ability to reverse a $125 million, five-year sales tax increase. All they have to do is look to neighboring Phoenix to see that no tax ever sunsets. Glendale residents are being asked to underwrite a multi-year $300 million Phoenix Coyotes’ arena deal.
Cruz supports the tax extension. Weiers, who has a strong record of reigning in spending and addressing fiscal issues, wisely opposes it.
Conservatives have a clear choice in the race for mayor of Glendale. Vote for Jerry Weiers
