During a recent city council meeting, officials reviewed and approved the canvas of the general election results, as mandated by Arizona revised statutes. The election, held on November 5, saw a commendable voter turnout of 60%, with 19,929 ballots cast out of 32,759 registered voters.
The council election featured six candidates vying for a council member position. David Jones, Faye Jackson, and Angelica Landry emerged as the top three vote-getters, securing their seats for the upcoming council session beginning January 1, 2025.
In addition to the council member election, voters were presented with a proposed amendment to the city’s general plan, titled Vista 2040. However, this amendment did not receive voter approval. The certified results were presented by Marisol Renteria, the county's interim election director, and were attached to the resolution passed by the council.
