The Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce hosted public candidate forums for offices of the Mayor and City Council in June, providing a valuable platform for candidates to articulate their visions and policies in an open, public environment. These forums were designed to foster informed voting by allowing each candidate to outline their platforms and explain why they believe they deserve to serve in office. Attendees had the opportunity to hear directly from the candidates about their plans for addressing the city's most pressing issues, ensuring a transparent and democratic electoral process.
