"After working all over the world, it makes me appreciate what a great city we live in. If elected, I will use my many years professional experience for the people of Glendale. We all love this town. Like you, I want to protect Glendale from those who will want to reduce our quality of life with overspending, overbuilding and overburdening our city services. We can have smart development. I have spent my life doing it. Now I want to do it for Glendale through leadership and a clear vision that we all share. Please help me with your vote." Steve Hedrick
