Mayor Deasy spoke of what the city has accomplished in the year-and-a-half of his first term. From bringing in outside money to help with flood mitigation, to the creation of the CARES team, to the climate plan. Daggett spoke of her experience on projects that exist today and her willingness to improve communication with residents and with staff. Williamson told the gathering that he can provide steady leadership and broker partnerships that can help Flagstaff into the future. Three candidates will be drawn down to two in the primary election August 2nd.
