Gilbert voters to choose 2 new council members this election. What to know
Gilbert’s turbulent seven-member Town Council is set to have a shake-up, with two new council members to be elected in July’s primary elections.
The Town Council has faced controversy and met with intense scrutiny over the past several years. The community's hope that the council could work in harmony has fallen flat following ethics probes, hourlong debates and in the wake of the "Gilbert Goons," who were recently officially designated as a criminal gang.
Early on in the election cycle, Gilbert resident and politically connected Mike Webb filed signature challenges against two candidates, stating some signatures were invalid and that it would disqualify the two men from being on the ballot.
The challenges failed.
Voters will have four candidates to choose from to replace the two outgoing council members, Scott Anderson and Kathy Tilque. The candidates include Aaron Accurso, Kenny Buckland, Monte Lyons and Noah Mundt.
