The next four years will be key to growth in Maricopa.
And transportation is probably residents’ most-voiced concern about that growth.
Four candidates — Adam Leach, Vincent Manfredi, Rich Vitiello and Henry Wade — are running for three seats on the council. Leach, a Maricopa Realtor, has never held public office. Manfredi, Vitiello and Wade are incumbents. Manfredi, the city’s interim mayor, is co-owner and advertising director of InMaricopa. Vitiello is the general manager for Kooline Plumbing. Wade is director of housing counseling services for Chicanos Por La Causa.
The primary will be held Aug. 2. Early voting has begun.
At a recent town hall at the Maricopa Library and Cultural Center the candidates discussed their vision for improving State Route 347, as well as other current and future transportation projects.
