Bill Garner Announces His Candidacy For Oro Valley Council

A young family man who we are pleased to have as a friend, has given us the privilege of announcing his candidacy for Oro Valley Council.

His name is WILLIAM (BILL) GARNER.

Bill, with the blessing of his beautiful wife, Darlene is ready, willing, and able to serve our community as an Oro Valley Council Member.

Along with previous announced candidate, Salette Latas, Oro Valley now has two well qualified people willing to take on the responsibility of serving. We know they both are concerned about the people, the environment, and the quality of life that brought us all to this area. Remember, the election is now only 8 short months away.
