Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman Files Signatures for Re-Election

Will Formally Begin Campaign for Re-Election as Mayor of "The Great Arizona City" TEMPE, Arizona

Mayor Hugh Hallman will turn in the maximum number of signatures allowed to qualify for the 2008 Tempe City Election ballot, formally beginning his campaign for re- election as Mayor of Tempe.

Hallman, joined by some of his many supporters from throughout the Tempe community, turned in the maximum of 1,864 signatures, double the 932 required to qualify for the ballot. None of the signatures were collected by paid petition gatherers.

"I would just like to say thank you to the more
than 80 volunteers who gave their time to help collect more than 2,000 total
signatures for our campaign,"

Hallman said.

"They gave countless hours to help make sure we
collected and turned in the maximum number of signatures, and I am extremely
grateful for their support in this effort and throughout my time as Mayor of
Tempe."

Hallman's campaign will focus on the myriad significant improvements made to Tempe's quality of life over the past four years.

His work to improve public safety, turn the city's budget deficits into surpluses, promote economic development without giving away taxpayer subsidies and improve Tempe's neighborhoods have transformed the community back to its rightful place as "The Great Arizona City."
