Scottsdale resident, proprietor and neighborhood activist Bill Crawford has dropped his pursuit of the mayor’s seat in the upcoming general election.
Scottsdale voters will elect a mayor and three members of Scottsdale City Council at the Tuesday, Nov. 8 general election as two candidates have emerged in pursuit of the mayor’s seat while there are four candidates for three city council seats.
With Mr. Crawford abandoning his mayoral campaign the city of Scottsdale has the option to push the mayoral and city council elections to the general election, a move officials say could save the municipality about $150,000.
