The following is an email that we sent to council member Tim Bohen. Unfortunately, Tim will not be serving on council after November. We wanted to share with you our perspective on Tim's contribution to our community. Without doubt, Tim Bohen worked for you.

Dear Tim,
I hope this message finds you well.
I wanted to take a moment to express gratitude for the dedication and hard work you have put in for the community as a council member. No one has ever worked harder for our residents. Your commitment to scrutinizing important issues and representing the citizens of our community is remarkable. Your efforts sparked important conversations and brought attention to significant matters that affect us all. Your willingness to work individually with residents and your focus on being pro-citizen have made a meaningful impact.
Although the results of this election were not in your favor, you did receive 7,600 votes. That is a significant achievement given that you did not have any specific "interest group" behind you. Rather, your voters are the people who live in Oro Valley who actually care about what happens to our community without worrying about how it affects them individually.
You fought through the difficulties of the election with determination and grit, even though you had the cards stacked against you by Steve Solomon and his group. It is unfortunate that the Mayor and Vice Mayor did not endorse you. In not doing so, they become tools of Steve Solomon. Strange bedfellows indeed! They put their self-interest of "looking good” or pandering to staff ahead of the interest of the people of our community.
In the end, town staff are the big winners in this election. They will now be able to act without challenge.
We look forward to continuing our discussions with you about the future of Oro Valley. Your insights and passion for our community are invaluable, and we are hopeful for more opportunities to collaborate and benefit from your perspective.
Thank you again for everything you have done and continue to do for Oro Valley.
Richard
