Steve Solomon, Oro Valley Council

Listing Information:

Oro Valley Town Council Candidate 2020, Steve Solomon: I came to Tucson fresh out of High School from New York in 1970 to attend the U of A. Like many people I fell in love with the area. Wanting to stay in the Southwest, I attended New Mexico State University, where I obtained an advanced degree in astrophysics. Upon graduation, I took an assignment with the United States Air Force, where I found myself in Sunny California. It was while I was in California that I met my wife, Val. It was not long before we were married with kids, looking to own a home in a good community where we could raise our family. In 1991 we made the decision to move to Tucson, looking to build a home, a career and a life for our kids. Settled in our new home, Val and myself worked tirelessly to achieve our dream, becoming our own bosses. We built from the ground up, a local development and home building company, Canada Vistas, building homes and subdivisions exclusively in Oro Valley. For over 20 years, we have been fulfilling the dream of home ownership for families, who like us, wanted to live, work, and play in a great community. Owning a development company has provided me the experience and knowledge needed to be a leader in setting new standards of responsible development in the Town. My philosophy is to be involved in the community and to give back where you can and serve when you are called upon to do so. Since 1994, I have been offering my services on Town Boards, Committees, and Commissions. Because of my history of service and proven ability to make choices positively impacting the community, I was appointed to Town Council in 2010. I served on Council for two years. In that time, I cut unnecessary spending from the Town Budget. I advocated for our seniors and disabled citizen, implementing Dial A Ride, and I was instrumental in putting in place balanced development guidelines. All of these accomplishments have one thing in common, they contribute to making our community one of excellence. Oro Valley is where I work, live, and play with my family. A vote for me is a vote for your neighbor, it is a vote for a fellow small business owner, and most importantly, it is a vote for someone who will bring experience, respect, and sound decision making to the Oro Valley Council.
