How 3 new council members could shape 3 top issues in Gilbert

By Maritza Dominguez || The Arizona Republic

Gilbert’s Town Council will have three new council members on the dais in January who could shift the town’s priorities.

Chuck Bongiovanni, Bobbi Buchli and Jim Torgeson are Gilbert’s new council members. The newly elected council members signal a shift toward a call for transparency, and tighter looks at rezoning and developments and transit.

Although the three don’t make up a majority, how they work with their counterparts on Gilbert Town Council to get more conservative policies across the finish line is something to watch.

Councilmembers Laurin Hendrix and Amiee Yentes chose not to seek reelection and Councilmember Scott September lost his bid for a seat on Town Council in August.

Gilbert Mayor Brigette Peterson in a statement to The Arizona Republic said, “I look forward to getting to know the three new council members and working together to best serve our residents and the community respectfully and productively.  I am committed to supporting each individual council member and the entire council in being successful in their roles within our community.”
