Glendale’s primary election will be half competitive and half prefunctory.
Mayor Jerry Weiers’ bid for re-election turned into a wolkover when potential opponents Jamie Aldama and Paul Boyer did not turn in enough verified signatures to qualify for the ballot. Council member Ray Malnar is not challenged in the Sahuaro District.
Two council races remain undecided and at least one new council member will be seated. Newcomers Luper Encinas and DIanna Guzman are vying for the Yucca District seat now held by Joyce Clark.
