Thank you, Pinetop-Lakeside.

While these results are still unofficial, I am deeply honored and humbled by the trust so many of you have placed in me.

Thank you to everyone who voted, volunteered, displayed a sign, shared a post, offered encouragement, or simply took the time to participate in this election. This campaign has always been about our community and the future we can build together.

To those who supported someone else, I respect your decision. I hope to earn your trust through my actions over the coming months and years. My commitment remains the same, to listen, work hard, and always put the best interests of Pinetop-Lakeside first.

I'd also like to congratulate Councilmembers Sterling Beus, Derrick Cavey, and Jeffrey Phillips on their election. I look forward to continuing to work alongside each of them as we serve our community together.

Although I won't be sworn in until December, I will continue serving on the Town Council until then and preparing for the responsibilities ahead. My focus remains on serving this community with integrity, transparency, and respect.

The campaign is over. The work continues.

Thank you for this opportunity. I am grateful, humbled, and excited for what we can accomplish together.

If I have already earned your vote, thank you. Your confidence means more than I can express.

If I haven’t earned your confidence yet, I’m simply asking you to give me the opportunity to serve, and then hold me accountable. Leadership isn’t about promises made during a campaign. It’s about showing up, listening, making thoughtful decisions, and earning your trust every day.

Most importantly, I hope everyone takes the time to vote tomorrow. Your voice matters. Every vote helps shape the future of Pinetop-Lakeside.

Strong roots are not about staying stuck in the past.

They are what allow a tree to stand through every storm.

To me, that is what good leadership should be.

Grounded in service.

Steady under pressure.

Honest about challenges.

Committed to the future.

Pinetop-Lakeside does not need empty promises.

It needs leadership willing to do the work, ask the hard questions, protect what matters, and help guide our Town forward with confidence.

That is why I am running for Mayor.

When you've spent your career in the fire service, there's something different about earning the respect of your peers.

Campaigns come and go, but your reputation is built over years, one call, one decision, one relationship at a time.

That's why receiving the endorsement of the Professional Fire Fighters of Arizona means so much to me. It's not something that can be bought or manufactured. It comes from firefighters who know this profession, understand what service looks like, and recognize the leadership it takes to serve both your department and your community.

Thank you to the Professional Fire Fighters of Arizona, President Dan Freiberger, and the Executive Board for your confidence, your trust, and this incredible honor. I also want to thank my brothers and sisters of the White Mountain Firefighters Association (WMFFA) for your friendship, encouragement, and unwavering support throughout my career.

I'm proud of what we've accomplished together, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the community that my family and I are proud to call home.

This endorsement is one I'll always cherish because it comes from people who have dedicated their lives to serving others. I will continue working every day to be worthy of the trust you've placed in me.

🚒👏 Congratulations to Taber for Mayor on earning the endorsement of the Professional Fire Fighters of Arizona!!

This endorsement reflects a proven commitment to public safety, community service, and leadership. As a firefighter, public servant, and dedicated member of our community, Taber has consistently demonstrated that he puts people first.

The PFFA’s endorsement recognizes leaders who understand the challenges facing Arizona’s firefighters, first responders, and local communities. We are proud to stand alongside them in supporting Taber Heisler for Mayor of Pinetop-Lakeside.

Join us in congratulating Taber on this well-deserved endorsement, and remember to vote on July 21!

I have seen what happens when small problems are ignored.
In public safety, preparation matters.

You do not wait for the emergency to start planning.

You do not ignore warning signs.

You do not hope serious issues fix themselves.

I believe the same principle applies to Town leadership.

When something does not add up, you ask.

When a problem appears, you address it.

When the future is at stake, you plan ahead.

That is not negativity. That is responsibility.

Pinetop-Lakeside deserves leadership that is willing to look ahead, ask questions, and help protect the future of our community.

Every decision we make today becomes part of the Town we leave behind...
For our children.
For our grandchildren.
For the families who will build their lives here after us.

That is why local leadership matters so much.

The decisions may not always be flashy, but they affect the future of our roads, parks, services, businesses, neighborhoods, and quality of life.

I believe Pinetop-Lakeside deserves leadership that is thinking beyond the next meeting.

Leadership that respects where we have been and takes responsibility for where we are going.
