I am honored and grateful to have received tremendous support in the Primary election, which has allowed me to move forward to the General election. My sincere appreciation goes out to the many small-business owners, community leaders and longtime residents who have backed my campaign to help build an even better Scottsdale.
I have lived in Scottsdale for 26 years. After moving here in 1988, I immediately fell in love with the energy, enthusiasm and eagerness of this city. My husband, Ron, and I have raised three children and put down roots in the community. Scottsdale is our home. We need positive leadership and that’s why I’m running for the Scottsdale City Council this year. I want Scottsdale to be the best city that it can be, while maintaining our unique charm and character.
Scottsdale must change from a City of No to a City of Go. If you want to stand apart, you can’t stand still. We need to attract and retain quality jobs by showing that we are open for, and welcoming of, business.
These priorities reflect my record in public service. As president of the Scottsdale Unified School District Governing Board, we worked together to overcome a horrible recession and manage abudget of $175 million while maintaining an A-rated school district. We also cut administrative costs by 21 percent during my last four years. Iam the only non-incumbent candidate with experience as an elected official who had to make tough decisions and balance multimillion-dollar budgets.
As I consistently demonstrated during my time on the SUSD Board, I value your voice and want it to be heard. I am running to represent you. I look forward to seeing you on the campaign trail and hearing from you.
Please vote Jennifer Petersen for Scottsdale City Council

Jennifer Petersen is deceptive in how she implies that she has a Business/Marketing degree from Southern Methodist University when in fact, she does not. It doesn’t matter if she has a college degree or not-what does matter is that she is not being honest about it. What can we expect if she is elected?
