Chip Wilson, Mayor of Apache Junction

Apache Junction, like the rest of Pinal County, is in dire need of new roads and highways.

The original transportation plan was approved by voters in 2017 along with sales tax.

Unfortunately, that tax was voided by the Arizona Supreme Court. Proposition 469 simply modifies the wording that was approved in 2017 and does not raise tax rates.

As Mayor of Apache Junction, I am proud that our city and Pinal County are a great place to live and work. However, traffic congestion is getting worse and worsening our quality of life.

Traffic congestion is also a threat to public safety, as it can slow first responders.

Whether you’re heading to work, taking your kids to soccer practice, or traveling to visit your grandchildren, you need a transportation infrastructure that will keep you going wherever you go without delay. He endorsed this plan in 2017 and I am proud to serve as treasurer of the committee seeking its passage.

VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 469.
