Join this F3’s Council Candidate Forum! Community members will ask questions and hear answers from the seven candidates running for City Council.

This forum is designed to allow you to interact directly with all seven council candidates via a speed dating format. The candidates will be rotating to each group of participants and answering their questions for 10 minutes, then rotating to the next group, and so on.

There are four City Council seats to fill with the General Election on November 8. This means that Flagstaff residents need to vote for some of the write-in candidates as only two candidates are listed on the ballot.

To vote for a write-in candidate, you must fill in the bubble next to the line where you will write the candidate’s first and last name. Write-in candidates must receive at least 1602 votes to be seated.

Information about individual council candidates can be found at the links below:

As mandated by state law, the plan covers a range of topics with information on current conditions and our vision for the future as it relates to the topic at hand. The plan outlines carefully developed goals and policies to realize the future vision.The agenda and content of the workshops will be very similar, but the topics discussed will be determined by participants.
