Jewish News Az with Tammy Caputi

Why are you running? 

I’m running for City Council to be a positive, forward thinking voice for Scottsdale. I want Scottsdale to be even better for my kids than it’s been for me. My passion is the future; our livability and quality of place. This means economic vitality, a diverse and resilient economy, quality development with public benefits, and collaboration with our schools, so our children can get a topnotch education and find good jobs right here at home.


What issues are most important to you? 

The quality of our schools: A thriving city needs strong schools. Good schools raise our property values and attract residents and businesses.Vibrancy and diversity of our economy: Investing in our economic hubs provides the sales tax revenue that keeps our quality of life high, property values strong and property taxes low. It’s how we create and maintain a healthy, balanced community for ourselves and future generations.Completion of the General Plan, so we can define a clear vision for the future of our city. The General Plan must clearly reflect the needs, desires and aspirations of our current population.


How does being Jewish shape your political philosophy? 

My Jewish faith shapes my desire to give back to my community; to get involved in issues that matter. I can’t sit on the sidelines letting others make decisions that impact our lives. It takes strong, brave voices to make the world better for everyone.
