I’m sure we can all agree that by the time the elections take place we will need some serious leadership, a touch of experience and a demonstrated commitment to our community. This does not describe Tim Leigh. His style and way of doing business works for Tim, but I doubt it would work for the people of Colorado Springs. The job of Mayor is not a job for a self-serving ego-maniac.

People who inspire the world to be a better place are few and far between. I cannot speak for anyone else but myself so here is my personal example of how Tim has inspired me. As a young entrepreneur I was looking for a mentor and life coach when Tim Leigh crossed my path. I was a stranger and Tim acted like we where old friends. With no reservations, Tim took time out of his busy life and inspired me in a way in which few people have. It’s been almost 10 years ago, but in those few sunny afternoons, Tim fundamentally shaped my strength of character, work ethic, vision, and servant attitude. Few people have touched me and affected my life in such a powerful way. I am a better person since Tim has walked into my life, and this town will be a better place when Tim walks, rather runs, into the Mayor position. Tim Leigh has made a career and a lifestyle out of future thinking and serving others. Serving our city with new inspiration and integrity is what gets Tim up every morning and what this city needs. True, Tim can be a bit candor and to the point, but I would rather a man that speaks from his heart take action with integrity and progress rather than a politician who carefully speaks and tiptoes around political issues and who is careful not to offend. This town needs a new life, direction, inspiration, and a forward thinker. Tim Leigh is that guy.

You had me going until I read that Steve Schuck was backing Leigh. I recall Schuck also tried to buy the school board elections in D-11 a few years back. He succeeded initially, and that turned out to arguably become the most dysfunctional board in the history of Colorado Springs. I think Schuck may be just a little out of touch with the kind of people this city needs in local politics. A real estate broker-type (albeit a successful businessman) with strong ties to the development community just doesn’t seem to be who we need calling the shots at City Hall. If Leigh is successful, I can just hear the cries of city council being in the pockets of the developers… and they would be spot on.

I disagree- I think he would make a great mayor. Colorado Springs needs some new leadership.
