Dear Arvada Citizens:

I have known Bob for over 20 years. I knew Bob as mayor when Arvada faced challenges that were as difficult as the ones we face now. Bob worked vigorously to insure adequate water supplies for the future; he was a progressive leader in land use and growth to insure balance and fairness. He was a conscientious leader who fought for a solid tax base to insure adequate future revenues for the city without raising taxes. Few people can offer the kind of sensitivity and common sense it takes to run a modern urban city and to have good city management like Bob Frie. He is a fiscally prudent leader who knows how to balance budgets and challenge spending to guarantee important priorities and eliminate waste. Bob Frie will make an excellent mayor for the City of Arvada.

I have also had the privilege of Bob Frie's personal friendship and I am truly honored. Bob Frie is one of the most thoughtful, caring, and intelligent people I have had the privilege to know. He understands the importance of being a good citizen. He is totally committed to his wonderful family. He is recognized by his professional peers as an exceptional lawyer. He is honorable and respectful to everyone he meets whether they agree with his policies or not.

I encourage you to vote for Bob Frie for Mayor of Arvada. He will do a great job!

Sincerely,

Rich Ferdinandsen
Former Jefferson County Commissioner
