John Hughes Mayor, Dewey-Humboldt
Mayor John Hughes, an Arizona native and fourth generation cattle rancher, grew up in Page Springs, where his family ran Hereford cattle at the DA Ranch and the Diamond 2 Ranch — today it is known as a popular winery.
John, being the youngest of six in his family, learned at an early age how to operate ranch equipment and machinery. He was active in his community, participated in 4H, was on the Prescott High School rodeo team, worked the livestock yards and was the FFA President during his years at PHS.
John built the family diesel business with his wife for 20 years, and shortly after his baby girl was born retired from the diesel business and continued on with his passion doing excavation in the construction field.
John served as councilman for four years, was re-elected as Dewey-Humboldt mayor, four years, and is running for re-election. He also serves, among other groups, as a state committeeman, vice chair of Central Yavapai Metropolitan Planning Organization and is an honorary member of the Mounted Yavapai County Sheriff Posse.
He is always volunteering, educating or giving his time to local clubs and organizations. John enjoys reading, boating and spending quality time with his friends and family, but most of all,
loving his adorable daughter Bristol and supporting his active wife of 30 years Carie.
John stands for God, Family and Freedom. He believes that being upfront and honest gains trust and loyalty that will last a lifetime.
