If you live in the City of Phoenix (or not) and are interested in finding out more about Greg Stanton (in advance of the mayoral election on 8/30/11), here is some information about his background:
Greg Stanton grew up in west Phoenix, and his parents still live in the same home. After attending Phoenix public schools, he graduated from Marquette University and law school at the University of Michigan. He returned to Phoenix and practiced law for several years before being appointed to the Phoenix City Council in 2000. In 2001 and again in 2005, he won re-election with an overwhelming majority of the vote. He and his wife Nicole, a prominent local attorney who is the recipient of the YWCA business leadership award, married in 2005 and have two young children.

He won re-election by an overwhelming majority and stepped down only to replaced by a real piece of work. I don't hold it against Greg, but I cannot help but wondering how the Council would have looked without a certain present councilmember
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! I live in Greg's old council district and miss having a great councilman but I'm confident that Greg can do an amazing job for the city as a whole.
