Chandler's City Council: New Faces, Tested Hands
Description
Chandlers city council, led by Mayor Kevin Hartke, is responsible for governing Arizonas fourth-largest city. With seven members, including the mayor, they serve four-year terms and are elected citywide. In 2026, the mayors seat will be up for grabs. Last year, three out of seven seats were contested, with incumbents Christine Ellis and OD Harris retaining their positions and newcomer Jennifer Hawkins joining them. The council members bring diverse backgrounds, from nursing and nonprofits to military service and business ownership. However, theyve faced challenges, such as Harriss legal issues and Postons FBI probe. As the 2026 elections approach, the council remains dynamic, balancing newcomers and experienced members to guide the citys growth.
