September 21, 2017 at 12:30 pm
 The Mesa City Council selected five finalists for the open District 3 City Council seat during this morning's Study Session.

Applicants must have resided in District 3 for a period of no less than two (2) years in order to be eligible for the appointment.
 
In accordance with the Mesa City Charter, Council needs a decision and a final vote on the appointee no later than 30 days after the vacancy was created.
If no decision is made by Sept. 30, a special election will be called to elect a replacement.
 
The appointee will serve as the District 3 Councilmember until the election on Aug. 28, 2018. A runoff election, if required, will be held on Nov. 6, 2018.

Here's some information the contenders included in their council applications:
Pablo Felix: A Mesa resident of two decades and corporate sales consultant for a human resources company. He has volunteered in the community, including a stint as a former assistant Boy Scoutmaster. He's a native Spanish speaker, with a bachelor's in marketing from Arizona State University.
In his application, he wrote: "Because I love this community, I want to build upon the good that has already been done by those before me and serve my neighbors."
Francisco Heredia: A relative newcomer to District 3, Heredia has worked for civic engagement organizations Mi Familia Vota as a national field director and One Arizona as director. He moved to the district in 2015 and holds a master's degree in public administration from ASU.
Heredia worked in community relations at the Maricopa County Recorder's Office until Sept. 15. He resigned to pursue other projects and consulting.
Asked why he did not specify that he was leaving his job on the application, Heredia said there wasn't room. The application did not have a word limit, according to the city.
He wrote, "This is a time to heal and move forward with the work that needs to happen in both District 3 and the city."
Frank Mizner: A former planning director for Mesa who ran for council in 2004. He's board president of the Homeowners' Association at Dobson Ranch, a planned community in southwest Mesa. He has a master's degree in urban geography from the University of Arizona.
Christian Stumpf: A director of external affairs at the Nature Conservancy and former vice president of government relations at the American Lung Association of the Southwest. He was also a finance director at the Arizona Republican Party. He's two courses shy of a bachelor's degree in political science at ASU.
Stumpf wrote, "This is a great opportunity to have a voice for District 3 and Mesa at a time when big changes are happening."
Theresa Ratti: A Mesa Public Schools teacher who moved to Mesa with her family in 1974. She collected signatures with Save our Schools Arizona, which was created to halt the state's school voucher expansion. She has a doctorate in leadership and policy from ASU. 
She wrote: "Participating in the Hispanic Leadership Institute-East Valley opened my eyes even more to the great need of our Latino community, a need I see on a daily basis teaching."
