Cave Creek voters are deciding on a new mayor and six Town Council positions in the Aug. 2 election.
Early ballots went out July 6.
Every elected post in Cave Creek’s government is up for grabs this year. Voters who want a say in who will run their town can register, check their status or request a mail-in ballot at beballotready.vote. Residents can also call the office at 602-506-1511 to request a ballot through the mail.
Four council incumbents — Thomas McGuire, David Smith, Kathryn Royer and Ron Sova — are hoping to defend their seats against eight challengers including Mayor Ernie Bunch, who decided to run for a council spot this year instead of keeping his current position. The other council challengers include Tom Augherton, Susan Clancy, Paul Eelkema, Charles “C.W.” Jensen, Katya Kincel, Anna Marsolo and Bryan “Dusty” Rhoades.
