All five of western Pinal County’s municipalities have elected mayors and council members to lead their communities through the continued population growth that’s headed their way, with incumbents dominating the results in some cases and new faces stepping up to the plate in others.
The new council terms for all cities will begin the first week of December.
Two cities also included voter propositions on the ballot and both were approved by residents. Proposition 482 in Maricopa, which allows the city to sell some of its property including a large parcel on Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway, passed with 55% of the vote. Proposition 484 in Eloy, which lengthened the mayoral term from two to four years, won 58% of the vote.
All races were decided by voters in the July 30 primary election. Incumbents are marked with an asterisk.
