    I am the president of Maya Chapin a hispanic organization who leads over 46 teams in the Phoenix area. Jeff Barton will be a great choice for Phoenix City Manager. In an Oct. 2020 interview with Fronteras KJZZ, Jeff spoke about honesty, his love for his family, and the importance of a good Education. He is honest and transparent. These are all qualities that I support and are important in my Latino/Hispanic family. Please support Jeff Barton as City Manager.

    Jeff Barton has been a great public servant to Phoenix and has a talent for breaking down complex problems into chunks that are understandable by the average citizen while maintaining neutrality and allowing us to debate the merits of each possible path. It would be an honor to see Mr. Barton continue to serve Phoenix and to lead the civil staff.

    Mr. Barton is the best person to be our City Manager. He has impeccable budget knowledge and sound, solid understanding of how to best run Phoenix. City departments are funded and run with the best interest of Phoenix residents and visitors in mind. I've learned much about how to run a City from his Council presentations and answers; I would almost call them Civic & Economic lessons. Jeff is personable and approachable. I look forward to Jeff's leadership of Phoenix.

    Please approve the appointment of Assistant City Manger Jeff Barton as City Manager upon City Manager Ed Zuercher’ s retirement. Mr. Barton is truly the best choice to follow Mr. Zuercher’ s legacy. He masterfully created the 2021/2022 Annual Budget and managed the process to adoption. Clearly the best interests of the City of Phoenix are his priority. I look forward to working with him.
