“Ann O’Brien and I have collaborated on several issues in her capacity as a member of the DVUSD Governing Board. I have found Ann to be a strong, well-prepared leader, a good listener and excellent communicator. She has the ability to maintain a calm demeanor even when tackling controversial issues.
Ann O’Brien will work tirelessly to serve the residents of District 1, and has my full endorsement.”
— COUNCILWOMAN LAUREN TOLMACHOFF, GLENDALE CITY COUNCIL CHOLLA DISTRICT
“I am recommending that you vote for Ann O’Brien for City Council in District 1.
I’ve known Ann for many years and can attest to the fact that she is dedicated to her work. She has served on the Deer Valley Unified School District governing board for six years and has devoted herself to the students, teachers, staff, and families of that District. She has demonstrated that she will study issues closely and makes sound decisions based on what is best for everyone involved.
It is my belief, based on her track record, that Ann would do the same as a Council Member for the District 1 constituents. If you want someone who will listen, study issues, and make decisions based on facts, then voting for Ann O’Brien is the best move you can make.”
— BOB STAMBACH, DISTRICT 1 COMMUNITY MEMBER
I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with Ann O’Brien since 2016. She is a woman of integrity who isn’t afraid to ask hard questions, have tough conversations and put in the work to do what’s right. Ann leads with heart and intellect and seeks to view issues from all sides. Now more than ever, we need leaders who are able to bring communities together and solve problems collectively. For the last 4 years, I have watched Ann do just that for our North Phoenix Community at the school district, city, county and state level. This is why I am proud to support and endorse her for Phoenix City Council in District 1.
