To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to offer my strong support and recommendation for Joe Granado as a candidate for Chandler City Council.
Joe is a true native of Chandler and has spent his life deeply rooted in the community he now seeks to serve. Chandler isn’t just where Joe lives; it’s where he has built relationships, invested his time, and committed himself to the city’s growth and success. He understands Chandler’s history, its neighborhoods, and its people because he has been a part of all three.
As a local business owner, Joe brings a practical and informed perspective to city leadership. He understands firsthand the challenges facing small businesses, the importance of smart development, and the need for responsible decision-making that balances economic growth with quality of life for residents. His values of hard work, accountability, and collaboration are all qualities that are essential for effective city governance.
Beyond his professional background, Joe is a fixture in the Chandler community. He is approachable, respected, and genuinely invested in seeing the city thrive. He listens, engages, and leads with integrity. Joe’s character, combined with his local knowledge and business experience, makes him exceptionally qualified to represent the residents of Chandler.

Sincerely,
Joey Vincent
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.
Sincerely,
Rob Lyle
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.
From his time working at Basha’s grocery store alongside my late mother, Sabrina Byrd,
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.
Please join me in supporting Joey Granado for City Council and stand behind one of our
own.
Sincerely,

I am writing to formally express my support for Joe Granado in his candidacy for City Council and to share my perspective regarding his qualifications and character.
My acquaintance with Joe began through our shared affiliation with our college fraternity. Although we did not attend the university concurrently, we have built a friendship over the years through various social events and activities.

I am writing this letter of recommendation in enthusiastic support of my good friend Joe Granado for consideration as your next City of Chandler Council Representative.
Having worked with and for him over the past 10 years has given me the ability to know him as both a businessperson and a human being. His grounded persona and tireless work ethic are inspiring and complimented only by his willingness to understanding and his leadership ability. His commitment to the importance of education is highlighted by a master’s degree he achieved from the Arizona State University which is not a common accomplishment in our industry.

Building a successful business from the ground up has given him a first class understanding of the finance and contracts required to grow in today’s economic marketplace.
His military service, spiritual mindset, and commitment to his family are the perfect ingredients needed to describe the moral fiber he practices every day.
In short, I recommend to you strongly and without reservation Mr. Joe Granado as the right choice for your next City of Chandler Council Member. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any further assistance.

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.
