Ann O’Brien is Phoenix’s new vice mayor, selected in a 7-1 vote Wednesday by her fellow city council members.
“I am beyond honored to be entrusted by my peers to serve in this important role,” O’Brien stated in a news release. “As vice mayor, I will continue to work toward reducing homelessness, cutting red tape and making Phoenix the best place to live by staying committed to working with my colleagues in a nonpartisan fashion.”
O’Brien, who represents Phoenix’s District 1, replaces Debra Stark in the role, which cycles among council members on an annual basis. Stark remains on council as the District 3 representative.
