Jeff Fortney has been working tirelessly to make the community of Cave Creek a better place. 

He has lived in here for 20 years. 

His son graduated from Cactus Shadows High School.

His grandson is a future Desert Willow Roadrunner. 

He began his teaching career in 2004 in Cave Creek, teaching

8 years at Desert Willow Elementary and 

Sonoran Trails Middle School. He continues to teach special education in the Deer Valley School District.

  Jeff Fortney believes a school board must listen.

To teachers. To parents. To students. 

To the community it serves. 

This candidacy is about Representation.

It is about getting every dollar the district deserves 

and using it wisely. 

Cave Creek Unified needs to fight for proper funding

from our elected officials.

It needs to pay teachers a wage that acknowledges 

their professionalism and rewards their 

dedication and loyalty. 

A school board should listen, analyze and provide. 

Provide the tools teachers want and need to make 

them more effective educators. 

Provide a curriculum that engages and challenges students.

 Jeff Fortney is dedicated to getting the message of 

Representation out to the entire Cave Creek School

District community. You can help by donating to the

cause today. Donations are needed and appreciated.

Recurring donations are extremely helpful 

as it helps us manage future plans. 

 
You can also help by spreading the word about this

campaign and the idea of real Representation. Watch

for opportunities to canvass neighbors that have never

talked to a board candidate before. Get a petition and 

gather some signatures to get Jeff on the November

2020 ballot. Your time, talent, dollars… your volunteer

commitment is truly appreciated.
