2014

On her campaign website, Littlefield highlighted the following issues:[4]

Fiscal conservatism

  • Excerpt: "Because I am a fiscal conservative in deed as well as in word, I have fought to keep our taxes low. Last year I formed and chaired the Keep Scottsdale Special PAC to defeat the third-of-a-billion-dollar city property tax increase. When the bonds were rejected by voters in every precinct in Scottsdale by an overall ratio of 60/40, people saw I could make a difference in city government and encouraged me to run as the residents' voice on city council."

Tourism and small business

  • Excerpt: "I will work to attract new businesses and events to Scottsdale. I support the expansion of WestWorld, the Museum of the West, and completion of our beautiful McDowell-Sonoran Preserve. These amenities enhance our Western character and strengthen Scottsdale's tourism industry."

Neighborhoods

  • Excerpt: "I will stand with residents on issues of vital concern to their quality of life. Too often I have watched citizens ask Council to protect their neighborhoods from unwanted development, only to see their concerns go unanswered or even ignored! I will be your Councilmember who not only listens to you, but advocates for you at City Hall."

Public safety

  • Excerpt: "We must ensure all residents have a safe and secure environment in which to live, work and raise their families. I will vote to give police and firefighters the critical resources they need to keep you safe."
