Pushing Hutcheson

City Council candidate Rick Hutcheson’s political career as a senior presidential aide in the West Wing of the White House and experience acquired by serving on the Palm Springs Planning Commission clearly demonstrate that his qualifications to serve on the City Council are second to none.

With open ears, Rick will listen objectively to all constituents and bring a well-balanced and action-oriented approach to the government of Palm Springs through his strong emphasis that the ideas and values that unite us are far greater than any differences that separate us.

As a former senior business executive in charge of strategic planning and business development for a Fortune 500 company and a successful local businessman and entrepreneur, to say that Rick will be fiscally responsible is an understatement.  He will identify the correct balance between investment needed to augment our tax base and stewardship of Palm Springs’ unique heritage.

I strongly urge you to vote for Rick Hutcheson.  He possesses the knowledge, skills and resources that are of paramount importance to city government and will be a great leader for Palm Springs with his wonderful integrity.
