Inside Track Ep. 59 - Randall Sullivan

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Hi, I'm Jackie Craig. I'm running as a writing candidate for the Town of Marana Town Council. The way that these three candidates worked with a pack out of California worker power, and they derailed the Downtown Development Project to develop Downtown Marana into a real downtown. We can't have people who have such a misunderstanding of what Marana needs winning the council race. Fill in the little circle, write my name, Jackie Craig, for the Town of Marana Town Council.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:38)
From the fields of wheat and cotton to the heart of our community, Marana was built on hard work and family values. John Post has farmed this land for years, built businesses, and served this community for decades. As mayor, John will fight for sustainable growth that respects our roots, keep neighborhoods safe, and make sure Marana remains the best place in Arizona to raise a family.
John Post, farmer, father, and neighbor.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:10)
My name is Terri Murphy, and I am running for Marana Town Council. I have lived in Marana for 31 years. I love our community, and I would like to see more ballparks and equestrian center. I would love to see kids have an opportunity to fish and vote with their families. I think growth is extremely important, and I think that with proper infrastructure and proper layout and proper design, that we can create a community that everybody wants to live in. I am asking for your vote, Terry Murphy, from Marana Town Council.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:40)
For over 36 years, John Officer has lived, worked and served right here in Marana. As an Arizona native and your town councilman, John brings a lifetime of local experience to the big decision shaping our future. From coaching Eagle Scouts to his decades of work and water maintenance, John is the boots on the ground leader we need. He listens to our residents and stands firmly behind our Marana police and fire departments to keep our community safe. John Officer is dedicated to protecting our resources and preserving the independent soul of our town. Vote John Officer for Marana Town Council.
