Mike "The Marine" Bishop
2020 Phoenix City Council Candidate | District 7
"Minimum Talk, Maximum Action"
Exactly 18 years ago to this date. I stood on the yellow footprints at MCRD San Diego. There I become a US Marine, ready to serve and defend our Country against all enemies foreign and domestic. Throughout my career in the Marine Corps I was taught how to truly lead and serve mankind. I pride myself in serving my fellow man, defending, and speaking for those who are in need. I’ve seen many things to include multiple combat tours in Iraq. It was during these tours, that I vowed to always step up when there’s a need for change. I vowed to be of a true service to all, not just some. Now I stand ready to serve the city of Phoenix as your District 7 City Councilman. But like all battles, it takes support from the community. I’m asking for your support by signing my petition here https://go.azsos.gov/mrd8. I stand ready to serve you all!
NEW LEADERSHIP DELIVERING RESULTS WITH
MINIMUM TALK AND MAXIMUM ACTION
Hi, I’m Mike "The Marine" Bishop.
I’m asking for your vote for District 7's seat on Phoenix's City Council.
Please stand with me for Minimum Talk and Maximum Action on today’s most important issues! In tense times, courageous leadership is needed and I’ve brought that to those I’ve served throughout my life. I was raised trusting that good character finds fulfillment by serving others; that value has always guided me.
Currently, I'm an Electrical Engineer at an Extrusion Company in Central Phoenix. Before that, I spent a total of nine (9) years on active duty in the United States Marine Corps and during that time I completed four (4) tours of duty in Iraq in support of the Global War on Terrorism. In 2011, I decided to leave active duty and join the Marine Corps Reserves.
Much like my fellow Arizonians, I am proud of the Sun Corridor’s strengths: it’s beauty, sunshine, and unique diversity. At the same time, we need to guide our city’s growth. We will do this by focusing on police reform, rebuilding it's infrastructure, addressing needs in the community such as healthcare, equal education, and pathways to quality jobs along with the eradication of homelessness.
Such reforms serve all of us. Not just one demographic or one political party so when making such decisions, we should be guided by a sound moral compass—choosing what's best for everyone.
Let's make city government a trusted partner in building our shared future. Together, we’ll build a council and administration that works for you— not against you!
