What to know about Bentonville's mayoral candidates

Steve Galen

Bentonville isn't preparing for projected growth, says Steve Galen, who is concerned its economy could stagnate if people choose to live and work in other towns.

What they're saying: Updating traffic technology, improving the sewer system and focusing on high housing costs are all on Galen's agenda. The three are linked together, so you can't fix one without working on the others, he tells Axios.



Stephanie Orman

Stephanie Orman says her love of the community and the opportunity to continue with the momentum she's built during her time in office are reasons for her re-election bid.

What they're saying: Infrastructure, quality-of-life amenities and safety — fire, police and road connectivity — are priorities for Orman.
