Former Mayor George Fasching

I first learned of April’s passion for our neighborhoods while working together on our Architectural Review Board in 2014. Since then, I’ve witnessed nothing but April’s absolute commitment to the community and its residents. Like most people, I’ll engage with our city government from time-to-time if an issue motivates me enough to get off my couch and do something about it. I support April because she never rests when it comes to advocating for the residents of Arcadia. That is an inherent part of who she is.
