"Jackie Meck is a man of vision"

In discussions about Jackie Meck running for Buckeye mayor, no one has mentioned Jackie's personal connection to the environment and outdoor-recreation - this is the man I know and respect.

For five years, we have worked together on the Tres Rios Nature Festival. He seizes the day and makes things happen. He has proven to be a man of integrity and reliability and has a strong, personal commitment to the environment.

He is a man of vision - one is to see the river restored, to create a place where his grandkids can toss in a line or just wet their feet, where people can walk along the banks and picnic, or spend a day of solitude enjoying relaxing in the beautiful habitat. Just imagine a river that teems with life and is safe to enjoy.

All communities need leaders with vision and action. Jackie is both. He is the chair of Tres Rios, on the El Rio team, active in his church and is the leader of Fighter Country Partnerships. He is committed and reliable. He is a man of action, who works for his beliefs. His actions speak louder than his words.

Jackie loves Buckeye. His roots run deep - real deep. He believes in what Buckeye was and thrives on what it can be. He desires to see history and future woven together. He wants open space, hiking mountains and my favorite - rivers to walk! Like the cottonwoods that should line the banks of the Gila River, Jackie is faithful, solid and teeming with the potential of new growth!

In the discussion about who is best to govern Buckeye, I hope that the residents will share his vision and believe in his leadership. I believe the entire West Valley will benefit with him as mayor!
