AZCentral Voter Guide 2018 > It's More Than That

Unfortunately this so-called "Voters Guide" wants to have you make a selection for a candidate and create a ballot.
There's a bar on each candidate's page encouraging you to CHOOSE THIS CANDIDATE. There are three in District 4.

To be clear, you MesaZona blogger is opposed to the same-old-same-tired games of politics played-out far too frequently here in downtown Mesa where "friends-and-family" rule  to keep holding onto seats on the Mesa City Council.
Jake Brown is the 2nd cousin of the two-term incumbent Chris Glover, shown to the left endorsing his cousin.
The Primary Election August 28 2018 is the first opportunity for voters to just say NO to the closely-connected machine that has controlled this city for more than six generations. (Please scroll down for candidate information that can help you decide)
