4 candidates are running for 3 Avondale City Council seats. What to know

Gloria Solorio will be the only incumbent in this year's City Council race and will be challenged by newcomers Jeannette Garcia, Natosha Edmonds and Shari Weise. Current councilmembers Mike Pineda and Veronica Malone have reached their term limits and are both running for mayor.

Three council seats are up for grabs.

The incoming City Council, which will include at least two new members, will decide the direction of the city when it comes to development, including projects like the renovation of Old Town Avondale. They'll also decide on transportation issues, with traffic becoming an increasing problem within the city.

Edmonds, who will be running for her first term on City Council, is familiar with the process and has been a regular attendee of City Council meetings for over a year. She serves on the Economic Development Committee for the West Valley NAACP and was the president of the Sonoran Sky Elementary School PTA in 2023.
