TeamFrisco 2008
FRISCO, TX - July 13, 2007
First, I want to thank everyone who has been e-mailing, calling and visiting with me about my plans for the future. I appreciate the tremendous outpouring of support. I am humbled by the kind words for my previous city service and words of encouragement regarding my future plans. In fact, that encouragement is the reason behind this announcement today.
After very careful consideration, consulting with my wife and children and advice from my colleagues and friends, I have made the decision to seek the Frisco Mayor's position for the May 2008 Election. I have not made this decision lightly. After serving on the City Council for the last seven years and as Mayor Pro Tem for the last four, I fully understand the level of commitment that is required. I also have no doubt that I can meet that commitment because of the team we have in Frisco. I am grateful to have been part of that team over the years and I know that together, we can meet the challenges ahead. Frisco has been a blessing to my family and I look forward to continuing my service to this great community.
I am making this announcement today. However, out of respect for our current Mayor and Council and to avoid any potential distractions to them, my official campaign will not begin until sometime in the future.
Additional information will be forthcoming in the future and I look forward to your involvement, help and support. I will be forming an advisory committee shortly for TeamFrisco and I welcome your involvement. Please feel free to contact me at any time for any reason.
Respectfully Yours,
Maher Maso
Maso's announcement - which is contrary to what he has stated publicly on a number of occasions - is the first, and appears to aim to let others know, perhaps in an effort to persuade others not to run. Let's hope there are a number of other candidates that throw their name in the ring within the next few months.
