If the votes don’t add up this year, Rich Vitiello will try again.
The city council candidate and resident since 2005 has his mind set on serving – a desire he described as three or four years in the making, and encouraged by his friends as well as former Maricopa Mayor Kelly Anderson.
“Kelly has been telling me for years ‘you got to do this,’” he said.
Vitiello, who announced his candidacy in February, said if he isn’t elected this year, he’ll run again in the next election. But for the present moment, the nine-year resident and his campaign advisory board are looking at the best chances of winning. On Sunday, Vitiello announced a switch – bowing out of a race for three, four-year term council seats and opting instead to run for a single, two-year seat left open by former councilman Leon Potter.
