Posted by Maria Langer on November 8th, 2006The Arizona Republic has unofficial election results for Wickenburg on its Web site. The results shown do not include mail-in ballots or absentee ballots, so they are not final and may change. You can review results for yourself by going to http://www.azcentral.com/elections/ and using the options there to view the Mayoral Recall, Council Recall, and Town Council results.
For me, the results are a mixed bag. It was good to see that the Sun‘s “slam dunk”‘ candidate was not given another term on the Town Council. Perhaps the town’s people realize that real estate growth interests are not in …

Posted by John Aabbott on October 29th, 2006Let me get this straight:
The Chamber of Commerce is publicly supporting Town council Candidates Kristi Henson, Scott Stewart, and Phil Richardson, along with the mayor who’s up for recall, Ron Badowski. Right?

So the Chamber of Commerce is supporting political candidates who just happen to fill three of the five Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors positions? The Chamber of Commerce is, in effect, supporting itself to fill three political positions?

Posted by Maria Langer on September 13th, 2006For those of you looking for Wickenburg election results, you can find them at the Wickenburg Sun‘s Web site.
I’m proud of my fellow Wickenburg residents for coming out in such numbers to vote on this primary election. We’ve used the democratic system to send a powerful message to our elected officials. It is indeed time for a change.
