Hugh Hallman was elected mayor of Tempe in 2004 and remained in that role until last year.

Now according to the Phoenix Business Journal, it appears Hallman may have his sights set on a higher office.

The former mayor stated the following on his personal website Friday:

“Over the next few months, I will be traveling the state of Arizona to speak with and listen to people from all walks of life about what’s really important to them in their state government, and how we can address our priorities successfully.”

Hallman may face steep competition from the likes of Douge Ducey, Ken Bennett, Richard Carmona, Fred DuVal and Phoenix mayor Greg Stanton.

Along the way, each of the participants in this program has been helped by another military member or veteran. We’ve never forgotten that person or the time we were in need. Though our gratitude was expressed, we feel that we owe more than just thanks, we owe action. Each of us involved in Veterans Helping Veterans is now in a position to give back. This site is our vehicle, and your resource.

Our ultimate mission is to help ALL veterans find somewhere to live, then make it a real home. A lofty goal I know, but if we never stop trying who can say that we never hit our target? For now we’ll start with you. Let us know what you’re looking for and how we can help.
