Opinion: The District 6 race pits a newbie fronted by powerful Democratic interests against a policy wonk fresh off a stint as policy adviser to Kari Lake.

Runoff or special elections in Phoenix generally favor establishment candidates and issues.

Voter turnout drops off precipitously, which means money, name recognition and special interests play a more outsize role than usual.

Could the March 14 runoff in Phoenix City Council District 6 prove an exception to the rule?

The race is between moderate Kevin Robinson, a retired Phoenix assistant police chief who teaches at ASU, and conservative Sam Stone, the former chief of staff to term-limited Councilman Sal DiCiccio.

Notably, it pits a political newbie fronted by powerful Democratic interests – Robinson is backed by Mayor Kate Gallego and several former mayors; his campaign chair is Rep. Greg Stanton – against a policy wonk fresh off a stint as policy adviser to failed Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.
