Scottsdale’s leadership is largely turning over with the start of the new year.
There will be new faces in the mayor’s office as well as three new city council members.

Lisa Borowsky is taking over as the new mayor, and Jan Dubauskas, Adam Kwasman and Maryann McAllen will assume city council seats. They will be joined by incumbent city council members Barry Graham, Solange Whitehead and Kathy Littlefield.
