The Responsive Sedona Leadeership committee is not and has never been a PAC. It is a city political committee and every candidate running in this election has a city political committee. You need it to place political ads in the media. RSL will not accept more than$100 from anyone. It has used these donations to buy ads supporting the candidates. RSL gives no money to candidates directly. It is supporting candidates who have promised to adhere to the following Principles of Public Service. Listening and Following the Will of the People “I will seek out and follow the will of the majority of our residents on all important community issues. Before I vote, I will insist on in-depth public education and I will promote objective, informed public dialogue.” Acting with Fiduciary Wisdom & Integrity “I will act with fiduciary wisdom and integrity to : a) achieve and maintain a balanced city budget b) find and implement realistic options to pay off our city debt with the least financial impact on our citizens c) create programs and policies that support business and are in balance and harmony with our residential quality of life.” Protecting the Environment and Our Quality of Life “I will introduce and support programs and laws to promote community health, welfare and safety, and to protect our natural environment, including our dark skies, forests and natural scenic surroundings.” RSL has no other agenda.

Their respective campaigns are paid for by the PAC who want them to vote what the PAC wants, NOT the majority of the citizenry.
