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.[3] 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.
