Scottsdale voters next month will take to the polls to decide from a field of three candidates who will be elected as the next mayor of Scottsdale meanwhile residents will also decide from a field of nine candidates for three open positions at Scottsdale City Council.
Scottsdale is hosting a primary election Tuesday, July 30, to elect a mayor and three members of Scottsdale City Council whereas for a candidate to win outright in the July primary election they would have to receive the majority of ballots cast, election officials tell the Digital Free Press.
For races still in contention, a general election will be held to decide those races, election officials say.
In the race for mayor of Scottsdale, there are three candidates: Lisa Borowsky, David Ortega (incumbent) and Linda Milhaven.
The Digital Free Press reached out to each Scottsdale mayoral candidate to offer readers a better understanding of what these candidates think is the No. 1 threat to quality of life in Scottsdale and what they will do about it, if elected.
Furthermore, each candidate was asked how they would work collaboratively with fellow elected leaders and what they think is the best thing about being elected to the top figurehead position in ‘The West’s Most Western Town.’
