Building a Better Future for Surprise, AZ​

ALY CLINE FOR MAYOR

Surprise, AZ, has experienced remarkable growth, becoming the 10th largest city in Arizona. As our city expands, so does the complexity of ensuring that all our residents' needs are met. From new families starting out to retirees and young professionals, Surprise serves a diverse population with varying needs and expectations.

To effectively address these needs, our city requires three key components: experience in managing complex financial responsibilities, full-time leadership, and a clear, forward-thinking vision.

Experience in Managing Complex Financial Responsibilities

Managing the funds of a growing city is no small task. It requires expertise and a strategic approach to ensure our resources are used effectively to benefit all residents. My experience in managing complex financial responsibilities equips me to oversee our city’s budget with precision and foresight.

  • Public Safety: First and foremost, we must ensure our city is safe. This means providing our fire and police forces with the funding they need to protect and serve our community. A safe city is the foundation upon which all other services are built.
  • Infrastructure: As our city grows, so does the demand for our infrastructure. We must have the proper infrastructure in place to support continued growth, including well-maintained roads and transportation systems. My experience in working with state and federal governments enables me to secure the necessary funds to address the influx of drivers and ensure our roads are safe and efficient.
  • Education: Our education system must be well-supported and well-funded. A strong educational foundation is crucial for the success of our children and the future of our city. The leadership and work I have provided as President of the Friends of Surprise Libraries have generated over $326,000 in donations for the Dysart Unified School District, ensuring our schools have the resources they need to thrive.
  • Community Amenities: We need libraries, expanded sports facilities, and other amenities that enrich the lives of our residents. These amenities should achieve a minimum of a net-zero expense to our city's budget, ensuring they enhance our community without becoming a financial burden.
  • Development: Working with developers to bring a diverse offering to our residents, including a mix of local and national presences like Prasada and City Center, is vital. I have the background and experience to manage, lead, and direct these funds to ensure our city's needs are met.
