Campaign themes

2016

Schweiker's campaign website listed the following themes for 2016:

Supporting Quality Community Development
I believe the role of government as balancing what is good for me with what is good for us. My goal as a member of Scottsdale City Council is to always keep an open mind about projects that could potentially improve our community. We want to honor the past while adapting to the future needs of our residents and visitors.

Attracting Jobs and Economic Development
We need to continue to adopt fiscally responsible budgets that are sustainable while providing the services our citizens want. We need to ensure that Scottsdale remains open for business and continues to be an attractive destination to live, work and play.

Protecting Our Quality of Life
We must ensure we have adequate public safety to keep our citizens safe and improve transportation to reduce traffic, get our people where they need to go, and move goods and services. [2]

—Dan Schweiker (2016), [3]

Elections

2016

The mayor's office and three seats on the Scottsdale City Council were up for general election on November 8, 2016. No primary was held in 2016 because a primary is only necessary in Scottsdale when more than two candidates file for a particular seat.[4] Incumbent Suzanne Klapp, incumbent Virginia Korte, and incumbent Guy Phillips defeated Dan Schweiker in the Scottsdale City Council general election for three at-large seats.
