By Councilwoman Solange Whitehead
Get ready to vote in the July 21, 2026 Primary Election!
I’m pleased to announce that my nominating paperwork is filed and I am officially on the ballot for re‑election to Scottsdale City Council. With the incredible help of volunteers—and knocking on doors and visiting neighborhoods —I proudly submitted petitions with over 2,000 Scottsdale voter nominating signatures.
A huge thank you to my supporters and volunteers!
I’m also honored to share that the Police Officers of Scottsdale Association has officially endorsed my 2026 campaign. Respecting and supporting our first responders will always be a top responsibility.
I have been elected by Scottsdale voters twice to serve as our community voice at City Hall. Together, we’ve tackled issues big and small, and our work has delivered meaningful results:
• Protecting Neighborhoods and Scottsdale’s Character: Reduced building heights and density, increased open spaces, strengthened landscaping standards, and enforced stronger short-term rental regulations while advocating for local control. I will continue to ensure development respects our neighborhoods and character.
• Championing the McDowell Sonoran Preserve: Protected it from development, established a maintenance fund and advanced efforts to build a vital wildlife crossing. I will continue safeguarding this treasured resource.
• Investing in Parks and Open Space: Launched a 30-year reinvestment fund, starting with our oldest parks, and created new parks. Keeping these community spaces vibrant and accessible is key.
• Strengthening Public Safety: Initiated a Park Ranger unit, increased pay, launched an ambulance service, and mitigated wildfire risk. Supporting our first responders will always be a priority.
• Safeguarding Your Tax Dollars: Lowered taxes, doubled city reserves, maintained our AAA bond rating, and paid down pension liabilities. I will continue to protect Scottsdale’s strong record of fiscal conservatism.
• Fortifying Our Water Supply: Ended the export of Scottsdale water and expanded conservation efforts. Ensuring our water supply is a top focus.
Scottsdale thrives when City Hall and residents share the same priorities. While we have accomplished much, important work remains. I respectfully ask for your support so we can keep Scottsdale strong and moving forward — together.
