Chandler mayor to chair League of Cities board through mid-2026
Posted
Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke
INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA
Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke has been named president of the League of Arizona Cities and Towns executive committee.
He'll serve a two-year term to lead the 25-member executive committee, which is comprised of mayors representing municipalities across Arizona, that governs the League’s activities.
Hartke is serving his second and final consecutive four-year elected term as mayor of Chandler. That term ends with the first Council meeting of January 2027.
Members of the League of Arizona Cities and Towns selected new officers and members of its executive committee during the organization’s annual conference held in Phoenix last week. Superior Mayor Mila Besich was named vice president and Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers was named treasurer.
Hartke served as the League’s executive committee vice president for the past two years.
"I am passionate about the work the League performs on behalf of Arizona’s cities and towns," Mayor Hartke said. "As we work with the governor and legislature, we will continue to collaborate with state lawmakers and stakeholders to address key issues facing our communities, including housing, infrastructure and water."
Hartke will represent the League on the Arizona Commerce Authority Board of Directors.
Hartke's role with the League is in addition to a similar one with the Maricopa Association of Governments Regional Council, where he was named chair through early next summer. He's also a board member with the Greater Phoenix Economic Council.
