Welcome to Theresa Stehly's Home Page

 Theresa Stehly, former co-chair of Citizens for an Outdoor Pool and community activist, is
running for the at-large City Council seat in the April 8th city election. She is running a strong
grassroots campaign as she listens to the concerns of the citizens. When Theresa is elected, she
will work hard to hold the line on taxation, advocate openness in City Government, and call for
greater accountability in city spending. Theresa is a person of action and is not afraid to stand
up for her convictions and do what is necessary to get results for the citizens. She is not afraid
to ask tough questions of our city officials.
