BILL SPENCE FOR GILBERT TOWN COUNCIL
Meet Bill Spence
I’m Bill Spence, a retired U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander and a third-generation Arizona native, born and raised in the East Valley. I have two grown children, a son and a daughter, who both attended Gilbert schools, and a dog named Tahoe.
In 2020, I was appointed to fill a nine-month vacancy on the Gilbert Town Council and had the opportunity to work with residents and local leaders on issues important to our town. During that time, I learned how municipal government functions and how, at times, it does not function well.
Following my time in office, I began advocating for the residents of Gilbert and their demand for transparency. I have stood alongside you on important issues such as improving public safety, holding developers accountable, and protecting our pocketbooks from being frivolously impacted by poor government policy.
For the past year, I have been fighting the unreasonable increases in our utility rates. I have discovered several issues within the town that have contributed to our excessive utility costs. However, it soon became clear that nothing will change unless the residents of Gilbert have a stronger voice within the town, a voice with the knowledge, experience, and perseverance to bring the truth to light.
I am running to return to office so I can be a voice for the residents of Gilbert whose calls for fiscal transparency and accountability have gone ignored.
Please allow me to fight for you from the inside. Together, we can change the trajectory of our town.
