Description
Gilberts 2026 Town Council Election: Four Seats Up for Grabs
In the upcoming 2026 town council election, four seats are at stake in Gilbert, Arizona. The council, which includes a mayor and six members, is run at-large with staggered four-year terms and no term limits. Mayor Scott Anderson and two councilmembers were elected in 2024.
Three incumbents, Chuck Bongiovanni, Bobbi Buchli, and Jim Torgeson, are seeking reelection after being voted in during the 2022 election. Bongiovanni leads a senior living franchise, Buchli brokers real estate, and Torgeson runs a custom sign shop, having previously served on the downtown redevelopment team.
Yung Koprowski, a civil engineer appointed in 2020 and elected in 2022, has announced she will not seek a second term, leaving one seat open for newcomers.
Kenny Buckland, the ex-Gilbert police commander who won a 2024 runoff, and Monte Lyons, an Air Force veteran at Honeywell, hold terms until 2028 and 2029, respectively.
As these races determine local priorities, keep an eye on who steps up to continue Gilberts progress.
