As we approach the end of what has been a very challenging year for our nation and for Arizona, it is a time for reflection on what is really important. It is a time to focus on what it will take to resolve our significant economic challenges. It is a time when we as an industry need to band together and chart a course to a more prosperous future.
We have the opportunity to support a Governor who will lead our state out of today’s challenges and a return to economic stability. These tough times call for a tough leader – a proven leader who is not afraid to make the right decisions for our State.
We need a leader who will put the people’s interests above political interests. We need a leader who will make the right decisions for Arizona’s future. That is exactly why we as an industry need to band together and create a united front to support a Governor who will do just that.
Jan Brewer is that leader, but she cannot do it alone --- she needs our support.
She understands that Arizona’s families and businesses are going through hard times. She knows that we have to balance the budget today and provide long-term, sustainable solutions to stabilize and grow our economy for the future.
Governor Jan Brewer has made over $1 billion in cuts in order to put us on track to balance Arizona’s budget while still making sure the most critical programs are meeting the needs of individuals who need them most. Her plans for the future include high-paying jobs, investments in Arizona’s infrastructure and a strong education system for our children.
· As a State Representative and State Senator Jan Brewer supported transportation funding for the State. Under her watch at the State Legislature from 1983 – 1996, she placed emphasis on transportation projects, such as funding for Prop. 300 freeways.
· As a County Supervisor, Jan Brewer helped balance the county budget to provide resources for Maricopa County transportation priorities.
· As Secretary of State, Jan Brewer supported Prop. 400 to ensure a continued revenue source for Maricopa County freeways to build the critical infrastructure we need to continue to build a business friendly environment in Arizona.
· As Governor, Jan Brewer has worked to ensure Arizona receives every dollar due to the state in the ARRA/Stimulus bill, advocated for the Canamex Corridor and designation of I-11. She works diligently to prevent further erosion of transportation funds by the State Legislature, and is working to make sure Arizona receives our fair share of federal funding from both high speed rail funding and the reauthorization of Surface Transportation programs.
· Gov. Brewer recognizes the important link between transportation infrastructure and economic development. She appreciates the significant value Arizona contractors and consultants provide to our economy, and will continue her strong efforts to provide funding for transportation upon her re-election.
Jan Brewer is making, and will continue to make, the tough decisions for Arizona to put our state on a permanent, strong economic foundation. But, she can’t do it alone. She needs you to stand behind her, fight with her and support her. Please click here now to support Governor Jan Brewer’s re-election campaign.The time to act is now. The time to join together to support a proven leader is now.
Sincerely,
Mary E. Peters
