Paradise Valley Town Council candidates gathered to make their pitches to the voters, touching on a bevy of topics and hoping to sway the public opinion in their favor.
Voters will cast their decisions in the Aug. 4 primary election on four candidates seeking to fill three council seats. The three incumbent candidates include Vice Mayor Julie Pace and councilmembers Scott Moore and Mark Stanton while planning commissioner Jonathan Wainwright is also vying for a seat.
Mayor Jerry Bien-Willner is also up for re-election but he is running unopposed.
Candidates assembled virtually for a town council candidate forum which Independent Newsmedia hosted in connection with the town. Managing Editor Terrance Thornton asked a series of questions on topics such as conflict of interest, COVID-19 and developments, among others.
