Candidate for Yavapai County Supervisor - District 3

I am a 4th generation Verde valley resident, born and raised in Cottonwood.  My parents John & Susanne Verretto raised myself and my two sisters while they built two small businesses, one of which is still open today. It is from my family that I learned how important it is to have a work ethic and support your community.  I want to ensure the quality of life in rural Arizona. 

My parents encouraged from a young age many interests within 4-H from a young age as well as summer sports. I grew up going to the same cottonwood elementary school and Mingus Union High School the same as both of my parents.   After a year at Yavapai College, I then  attended University of DeVry to become an accountant.  I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in  Business Operations in 1992.

In a small town your path crosses with many people over the years. My path first crossed with my husband showing steers at the Verde Valley Fair when I was in high school.  We have been married for over 30 years and have raised 2 amazing girls together.  

I had the opportunity to volunteer at the elementary school when our girls were students. As they grew older my focus turned to attending Mingus board meetings in order that I might gain a better understanding of how to navigate our children’s education. I decided to serve my community on the Mingus Union High School Governing Board Since January of 2016. During this time I have been committed to  learning as much as possible about public education and its funding  for advocating for all my constituency. I am dedicated to all members of Yavapai County, everyone should be valued especially our children. 

I believe it is the utmost importance to preserve rural values of self reliance within our community.   Continue to work on the Yavapai County comprehensive plan and advocate for resources on this side of the mountain while bringing a conservative voice to District 3.
