Municipal primary election results Aug. 4, 2020

Ortega in Scottsdale and Peterson in Gilbert lead in heavily contested mayoral races

By Lorraine Longhi and Alison Steinbach | Arizona Republic

Gilbert and Scottsdale’s process to elect new mayors kicked off Tuesday with a string of candidates in both communities.

Five Scottsdale candidates in a tight race hope to replace Mayor Jim Lane, who has hit the city’s three-term limit. Former Councilman David Ortega was leading, with a back and forth for second place as elections officials continue to count ballots.

In Gilbert, where Mayor Jenn Daniels did not seek reelection, four candidates competed for the post. Former council member Brigette Peterson steadily led candidates Lynn King Smith and Matt Nielsen in the vote count.

If mayoral candidates don’t snag enough votes to win outright in Tuesday’s election, the top two vote-getters in each race will face one another in November runoffs.
