The most meaningful endorsements are not from newspapers or party officials, but from the neighbors I serve. Thank you to everyone who has shared kind words about the work we’re doing together.
Here’s what your neighbors are saying about Lilly’s leadership and commitment to Tombstone.
“As a blue collar worker in the offshore energy sector, I need to trust the people making decisions for the very special home called Tombstone while I'm away. I need to know the leadership of this town is pragmatic, resourceful, innovative and intellectually sharp. I have a wonderful wife and dogs living there as well, and they deserve the best Tombstone has to offer, as do all the citizens of The Town Too Tough To Die; but being tough isn't enough. Survival requires adaptation, critical thinking and the ability to grow while retaining what is historic & special. The person that I believe has the will, the energy and the tenacity to fight for Tombstone is absolutely Lilly Hritz. She does so much already for so many in town, and I know she has much more to give if only allowed the opportunity to add to the mountain of respect she already has in our community. My vote is already set in stone for her, as she can move us through to the future while respecting the past and working hard in the present. Lilly Hritz for mayor!
- Capt. Dan Fox”

She’s done a great job serving Ward 4 as a council member and has gone above and beyond in the role. Lilly has a great sense of responsibility for the people and town of Tombstone. If she doesn’t know something, she will do the research and find out. She will actively seek grants to help support the community.”
“## **Endorsement: Lily for Mayor of Tombstone**
Since Lily announced her bid for Mayor, I have made it a point to look past the campaign rhetoric and research her actual track record. What I found is a leader who understands that **actions carry more weight than words.**
Through her participation in leadership programs and her constant availability to the residents of this town, Lily has proven she is ready for the intense battle of municipal leadership. In a political climate that can often turn sour, Lily stands out by refusing to engage negatively. Whether she is speaking with a staunch supporter or a vocal critic, she maintains the poise and respect that Tombstone deserves.
### **Why Lily is the Right Choice:**
* **Proven Business Success:** As a successful business owner herself, she understands the economic nuances and fiscal responsibilities required to keep a city running smoothly.
* **Expert Researcher:** She doesn't make decisions on a whim. Lily understands the "ins and outs" of political roles and the complex nuances of local government.
* **Bridging Two Eras:** Lily possesses the vision to move Tombstone into the **modern era** without sacrificing the **historical integrity** that makes our town legendary.
**As a multiple business owner here in Tombstone**, I have a vested interest in the direction of our community. I am confident that Lily has the capacity to socially and economically lead us into a prosperous future—a **Golden Era**, if you will, for Tombstone.
Lily isn't just looking to change things; she is looking to build upon our existing accomplishments. I believe she is the candidate who can lead us toward a prosperous future while remaining a guardian of our unique heritage.
**I am proud to offer Lily my full support for Mayor of Tombstone.**”
“As a current member of our City Council and a successful business owner, Lilly brings both real-world experience and an understanding of how our city works. She knows the challenges our community faces because she’s been actively working on them—and delivering results.
What sets Lilly apart is her commitment to transparency and accountability. She believes residents deserve to know how decisions are made, how resources are spent, and to have a real voice in the process. She leads with honesty, openness, and a willingness to engage—even when the conversations are tough.
Lilly understands what real leadership looks like: listening to residents, showing up, and following through. She has a clear vision for a stronger, more inclusive future, and the determination to turn that vision into action.
I believe Lilly is the right person to move our city forward, and I encourage everyone to join me in supporting her campaign for mayor.”
“I diffently support Lilly for Mayor Of Tombstone. She was a former teacher and also a Tombstone business woman. She has been active as a council member and very well respected. She always ask questions when no one else does, I like that about her. She loves Tombstone and wants the town to grow. I feel we need new leadership, I feel the town has been stagnant for years. This town could be so much more and I feel with Lilly as Mayor we could move ahead in the future.”
“Lilly is a woman of integrity, strength and vision. She has a deep respect for everything good that Tombstone has been and all that it can be. She is honest, trustworthy and forthright. Lilly highly educated and understands what it take to lead a city . She communicates clearly and consisely with all those she interacts with. She has served with honor and transparency on the city council and is the person that can lead Tombstone into a bright and prosperous future as mayor.”
“From big city to small city I've never seen a council member make a genuine effort to get to know her constituents and hear their concerns, then also take immediate action! Her peers would do well by taking a page out of her book.”
“I do not officially live in the City Limits, but having been in Tourism, then Real Estate and receiving our Mail at its PO, the very best place to stay in touch with this community, I have a lot invested myself in this town. From the first time I met Lilly she ended up my friend, sort of her nature, but this also made me aware of what a influence she already is on the well-being of Tombstone. One of the best Event weekends, Schieffelin Days was just one thing she had a great involvement in as an example of her commitment. Her success with a Business on Allen street, if nothing else, does make her a Tombstone Success Story, a title that is a real achievement. We have also rubbed elbows at several political outings over the years which I always founder her very open minded yet willing to question the given agenda. I can not vote for her, I am sorry to say, so all I can do is encourage you that can, DO VOTE FOR LILLY AS MAYOR! If you would like to speak with me in person please feel free to call me at 970-596-2158. Thanks- Clay”
“Very grateful that Lilly represents my ward. She researches issues extremely well and truly represents her constituents. It's quite refreshing”
““Lilly is such an angel. I have known her for several years and as far as I know she never turned down a favor or helped someone in need. She has my vote! We need more people like her.””
““As a newcomer and retired business executive I was impressed with her (Lilly’s) ability to relate to everyone! Not only was she an exceptional communicator, but had a vision for Tombstone, which balanced the preservation of the historical nature of the town as well as a platform to take care of people of all ages.””
““Lilly isn’t afraid to get to work and get her hands dirty. I know she will truly represent me not just try to please the powers that be. That’s why I will vote for Lilly…””
