Welcome.
I’m Bill Stipp, and I am running to be the next Mayor of Goodyear, AZ because I believe:
40+ Years in Public Service
A career of service — from first responder to Goodyear city council member
True Fiscal Conservative
Passionate about spending tax dollars wisely and with purpose
Community Focused
Dedicated to doing what’s right for Goodyear residents and employees
We need a vision of the future, created by the residents.
Does anyone know the current vision for the future of the city? It seems nobody does.
We need to spend as much, if not more, time planning the future of the city than we do the recreation campus and our parks and trail plan. Residents are frustrated by the lack of a coherent vision. I’d like to promote a resident-driven future planning process that returns Goodyear to its once prominent stature as a leader in the West Valley.
Trust matters.
Goodyear deserves a leader and a government that treats performance as a constant, not a campaign. And public servants deserve the clarity and structure that transparency and results oriented systems provide.
Transparency is not a quarterly report or a website update. It is an ongoing commitment to show the public how decisions are made and how your tax dollars are being spent. It is a discipline of setting clear goals, measuring progress, and adapting when outcomes do not meet expectations.
Our challenge and opportunity is to build a culture where performance and transparency are expectations, not exceptions. That is how we earn trust, strengthen morale, and deliver value that endures beyond any single budget cycle or leadership change.
Status quo leadership doesn’t push us in any direction — we simply exist.
We can’t move forward because we are constantly reacting to the circumstances being given to us. We need to create our future, not respond to it.
Where are we being led and what does our future hold? All we see are ribbon cutting photos, read self-promoting articles in the monthly InFocus magazine, and hear the constant message, “we’re only 15% built out” — which no one can actually define.
We need a strategy for our future that values the residents over the amount of square feet we build. We need stronger and safer neighborhoods with a growth strategy that serves the residents that are already here.
