The list of candidates interested in running for three city council seats up for grabs next year continues to grow, though one incumbent has declared she won’t be running again.
First-term councilmember Betty Janik has issued a written statement saying she will not run for re-election this year.
“At this stage in my life, I want to spend more time with family and friends,” Janik said in the statement. “I also believe it is time for older baby boomers, such as myself, to yield governance to younger people. Future development, sustainability, and homelessness in Scottsdale are but a few of our daunting challenges. The energy and creativity of younger people will be an asset in solving these societal issues.”
