5 candidates vie to be Mesa's first new mayor in 10 years [View all]

Mesa voters are poised to choose a new mayor for the first time in a decade.

The crowded field of candidates includes newcomers and familiar faces to Mesa politics.

Five men are vying to replace term-limited Mayor John Giles and lead the state’s third-most populous city. They include Carey Davis, Mark Freeman, Scott Neely, Scott Smith and Ryan Winkle.

Over the next four years, Mesa's next mayor could decide on major projects to get underway like Site 17 and Fiesta Redefied. He will also face challenges in how to address rising issues such as homelessness and transportation.
