Phoenix voters appear to have re-elected incumbent City Councilmen Sal DiCiccio and Jim Waring, indicating the left-leaning city government will retain its outspoken minority of fiscal conservatives.
Unofficial returns from Tuesday’s primary election showed both councilmen with comfortable leads over their more centrist opponents.
November runoff contests are likely in Districts 4 and 8 because no candidate was expected to receive more than 50 percent of the vote. The city will announce official results later in the week.
