Strong, Safe Neighborhoods

You deserve to be able to send your children to excellent local schools, access high-quality employment opportunities, enjoy well-maintained parks and roads, and most importantly, feel secure in your neighborhood at all times. That is precisely why Ann O'Brien spearheaded a successful campaign to prevent the Department of Corrections from accommodating homeless sex offenders in our communities. It is also why she passionately advocates for every student's rights as a member of the Deer Valley USD Governing Board. Above all, her current pursuit is to represent you on the Phoenix City Council. In her role as your representative on the City Council, Ann O'Brien will wholeheartedly dedicate herself to prioritizing the safety and well-being of our communities, striving to create an environment that promotes good health and supports the upbringing of families.

It is not solely about increasing job numbers, but rather about cultivating the right kind of jobs for our community's specific needs.
