Left-wing Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego is running for a full term this cycle after winning last year's special election. The mayor is elected at-large by voters residing in Phoenix to a 4-year term and may serve up to two consecutive terms.
While the state runs elections in August and November of every even-numbered year, historically, Phoenix has held its elections in odd-numbered years. With even-year elections seeing considerably more turnout and attention, this year's election presents a real opportunity that we as Republicans can't waste. The fight for Maricopa County will be fought and won in large part in Phoenix, and this race will have a real impact on Arizona's Republican candidates up and down the ballot.
