The two running on a slate together is not unique in South Tucson, says Cook, as the council will choose the mayor amongst themselves and running on a slate in tradition.<\/p>\n

The two were paired together by vice mayor of South Tucson Melissa Brown-Dominguez for their similar ideas for the city, even though they had never met prior to running together. <\/p>\n

Among those similarities in vision lies creating a strategic financial plan that lays the bricks for long term financial stability, ultimately being able to fund public safety and making South Tucson a more attractive destination for businesses. <\/p>\n

Cook and Frederico emphasis the need for open communication and partnership between the council and city staff to work in tandem to bring outside business to South Tucson. <\/p>\n
