Dear Neighbors and Chandler Residents,

I am writing to express my full and enthusiastic support for Joey Granado for Chandler City Council.

I have known Joey since the early 1980s, and over the last four decades, I have seen him consistently demonstrate the kind of character and dedication our city needs. Joey isn't just a candidate; he is a lifelong member of our community who truly understands the heartbeat of Chandler.

As a proud graduate of our local schools and Chandler High School, Joey’s roots here run deep. He is a "Wolf" through and through, and he possesses a historical perspective on our city that is becoming increasingly rare. He knows where Chandler came from, and he has a clear, grounded vision for where we need to go.

What makes Joey uniquely qualified for City Council is the combination of his professional and personal service:

• Veteran Leadership: As a United States Air Force veteran, Joey brings a "service before self" mindset to everything he does. His military background has instilled in him the discipline, integrity, and strategic thinking necessary to tackle the complex issues facing our growing city.

• Business Experience: being a local business owner, Joey understands the practical side of our economy. He knows what it takes to balance a budget, manage a team, and navigate the challenges that our local entrepreneurs face every day.

Joey Granado has spent his life working for and serving this community. He isn't interested in politics for the sake of the title—he is running because he genuinely cares about the safety, prosperity, and quality of life for all Chandler families.

I am confident that Joey will lead with the same common sense and commitment he has shown for the past 40 years. I urge you to join me in voting for Joey Granado for Chandler City Council in the upcoming election.

Sincerely,

To the Members of the Chandler City Council and the Citizens of Chandler,

It is a privilege to write this letter in support of Joe Granado for a seat on the Chandler City Council. Having worked closely with Joe, I have seen him navigate professional and personal challenges with a level of character that is increasingly rare in public service. He possesses the specific combination of integrity, aptitude, and devotion necessary to serve the diverse needs of the growing community.

Unwavering Integrity

In my experience working with Joe, his moral compass is his primary guide. He is a leader who consistently does the right thing, even when it isn't the easiest or most convenient path. On every project we have tackled, Joe has refused to take shortcuts. He understands that the quality of the finished product is a direct reflection of the honesty put into the process. This "no-shortcuts" mentality is exactly what Chandler needs to ensure transparent and ethical governance.

Intellectual Aptitude

Beyond his character, Joe has a strong capacity for problem-solving. He has a natural aptitude for dissecting complex issues, picking up new concepts quickly, and—more importantly—understanding their long-term impacts. Joe doesn't just act on the immediate facts; he considers how a decision today will impact the situation years down the road. His ability to synthesize information and act decisively would make him an invaluable asset to the Council.

Deep-Rooted Devotion

Perhaps Joe’s most defining quality is his devotion to the people around him. Whether it is his family, his employees, or his friends, Joe is always there for "his people." He is the first to offer support and will go to great lengths to ensure those he cares for have the resources they need to succeed. I have no doubt that he will extend this same fierce devotion to the residents of Chandler, treating every citizen as one of his own.

Joe Granado is a man of action, intelligence, and heart. I am confident that his presence on the City Council will lead to a stronger Chandler. I give him my highest recommendation without reservation.

Sincerely,

Emilio Gonzalez

To my fellow Chandler residents,

It is my honor to recommend and support Joe Granado in his run for City Council.

I have known Joe since our college days at NAU, and I believe he is uniquely qualified to serve our city. Joe is a successful businessman who built his mechanical construction company into a multimillion-dollar enterprise. His ability to overcome obstacles, manage risk, and consistently deliver quality work has been central to that success.

Within his industry, Joe is known for his personal integrity and honesty—in other words, he possesses the character we should expect from our leaders. Now, he seeks to give back by serving the community that has provided him with the opportunities leading to his success. I have no doubt that he would be a thoughtful and productive addition to our City Council.

I have known Joey Granado for over four decades. Joey and I both grew up in

Chandler, and I have had the privilege of witnessing his character and work ethic

firsthand throughout the years.

to building Uni-Tech into a multimillion-dollar business in the heating and air conditioning

industry, Joey has consistently demonstrated dedication, integrity, and a strong

commitment to our community.

This fall, my friend is running for Chandler City Council in the city he loves and

continues to call home. Joey believes deeply in the City of Chandler and wants the

opportunity to help plan and contribute to its future success.

 I first met Joe Granado in 2015 as we concurrently earned our MBA degrees at a local university. At the time, Joe owned and operated a small business for over 20 years and, after joining the Uni-Tech construction management team shortly after graduation, Joe and the Uni-Tech family taught me everything I know about construction and financial management. Through years of various industry and economic challenges, Joe never once allowed his business to come before his faith and his family. Even when presented with health issues and financial hurdles, Joe always prioritized the wellbeing of his employees, and he always conducted business with uncompromised ethics and consideration for all stakeholders.

As a leader in the construction industry and in his local community, Joe cares deeply about the people he serves and the future of his hometown of Chandler. As the son of first-generation immigrants, a veteran, a small-business owner, an educator, and a man who puts his family and community first, Joe exemplifies all components of building "the American dream" from the ground up: opportunity, struggle, adversity, perseverance, leadership, and philanthropy.

As a council member in Chandler, I am confident Joe will contribute to the

ongoing prosperity of small businesses and residents alike, while simultaneously ensuring major developments, transportation planning, and all future business are conducted with logic, ethics, and absolute consideration for all who call Chandler their home.

Throughout that time, I have witnessed firsthand his character, work ethic, and deep commitment to the people around him.

Joe is a renowned and highly successful business owner whose leadership is grounded in integrity and accountability. In the years I worked under his direction, he consistently demonstrated fairness, initiative, and an unwavering dedication to delivering quality work. He leads by example, treating employees, clients, and community members with respect and sincerity.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Joe is a skilled pilot, a discipline that reflects his responsibility, calm decision-making, and commitment to excellence. He approaches every aspect of his life with the same level of preparation and focus.

Joe is also a devoted family man, someone who places great importance on creating strong, supportive relationships. His loyalty to his family extends naturally into the broader community. Over the years, I have seen him lend his time, resources, and expertise to countless individuals and local efforts. He is truly a man of the community, always willing to step forward when there is a need.

I believe Joe’s integrity, leadership experience, and genuine care for others make him exceptionally well-suited for public service. His ability to listen, to act with purpose, and to uphold high standards would serve any community well.

I offer my full recommendation without hesitation. Please feel free to contact me if further information is needed.
