The Independent has sent out a candidate questionnaire as part of our coverage of the ongoing election for three Goodyear City Council seats.
These are preliminary questions, meant to help voters get acquainted with the candidates, their backgrounds, and broad vision for the city of Goodyear. We plan to send out more in-depth questions ahead of our in-person Candidate Forum to be held in late June.
Each of the five candidates received the same questions, and their responses are listed below in alphabetical order.
