PHOENIX
– Mayor Greg Stanton today endorsed local business leader Karlene
Keogh Parks to represent District 6 on the City Council, making clear
that she has the right priorities for the city’s future.
"Karlene
Keogh Parks knows that growing our economy should be our top
priority, and that to do that we need to invest in downtown
redevelopment and expand light rail,” Stanton said. “She also
knows that to be a great modern city, Phoenix must make sure that we
treat all our people equally, and with respect.”
Keogh
Parks’ opponent, incumbent Sal DiCiccio, voted against expanding
light rail in the Valley. He even voted to allow Phoenix
businesses to deny housing and jobs to individuals with disabilities
and on the basis of sexual orientation.
"I
am incredibly proud to have Mayor Stanton's support, and I’m
looking forward to working with him to make Phoenix an even better
place to do business and raise a family,” Keogh Parks said.

I probably should have mentioned earlier that what I posted above is from a Press Release sent from Karlene's campaign. My mother had successful surgery today and I was working from my cell phone in the waiting room at the hospital.
