Three-term Tempe City Council member Robin Arredondo-Savage announced Saturday that she will not seek re-election when her term is up next year.
That coupled with fellow Councilmember Lauren Kuby’s announcement this week that she will leave to run for a seat on the Arizona Corporation Commission assures that there will be at least two new faces on City Council next year. A third sitting member, Jennifer Adams, is being challenged by Arlene Chin in Adams’ re-election bid.
“Over the past few months, many of my neighbors, colleagues, community members, and friends have asked me if I am running for re-election in the upcoming election,” Arredondo-Savage said in an announcement on her twitter page. “I would like to make an official announcement that I will not be seeking re-election to the Tempe City Council.”
