Guest Editorial: A Little Phoenix in the Scottsdale Mayor’s Race

By Recker McDowell —

Lisa Borowksy is running a spirited and upstart campaign for Mayor of Scottsdale. Her campaign signs are certainly noticeable as we head toward the August 4th primary.

But we must also point out her campaign using pictures of downtown Phoenix skyline and South Mountain in an advertisement. Scottsdale has plenty of cool images which Borowsky and other candidates for Mayor and City Council routinely feature.

Maybe the Phoenix imagery is in the spirit of regional cooperation or maybe it is just a cool image. And this certainly is not the first and will not be the last time a campaign or social media page uses photos and stock art that might not be from the exact community.
