Scottsdale City Council
(Vote for 3)
Scottsdale's Liberal Candidates
Incumbent Solange Whitehead is running to be rehired. Remember - From 2020 to 2024, she (and the liberal council super majority) saddled us with tens of thousands of high-density apartments - including voting for the Axon apartment deal that gave away 12,000 homes worth of water without replacement requirements. Water availability and decaying infrastructure was of secondary concern.
She has a moderate, resident-friendly message, but her voting record has been decidedly liberal. The remaining candidates are solidly liberal and of similar ideology as Whitehead. They would send Scottsdale back in the wrong direction. While Whitehead's service to Scottsdale is appreciated she has not earned a rehire bid.
