As mayor, Rex Griswold would be spokesman for the city.
He can get things done. He also takes the political heat
and defends people.
It seemed to be very hard to do business in the city unless
you were one of the good 'ole boys. That is why he ran for
office.
He likens the way we choose our leaders to a game show.
He doesn't miss the restaurant business. Its fun trying to talk to 460,000 people.
The city was run by lawyers and engineers. The best way
not to get sued...Don't do anything. It is not easy to do
zoning changes.
We are a pretty good city. We have pretty good
roads...Pretty good schools.
Mesa has the youngest average population.
Rex can communicate, he can lead people and he can move
the city forward. He doesn't take politics personal.
We have a four year window of opportunity to become a
great city. Phoenix/Mesa Airport is coming and we have
some big players that can bring in fortune 500 companies if
we can work with them.
Rather than give a speech, he prefers to answer questions.
Today he took time to answer members' specific questions.
What makes him stand out as a candidate. He is
reachable. You can call or email him and he will get back
to you within a few hours.
