Three incumbent Surprise city council members seeking reelection this year appear on the July 21 ballot without opposition, despite a year marked by public debate over issues including a proposed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility and Project Baccara, a proposed data center.
Councilmembers Nick Haney, Jack Hastings and Chris Judd are each running unopposed for new terms representing Districts 1, 5 and 6, respectively.
In District 6, Carrie Deakin is running as an official write-in candidate but does not appear on the ballot. All other write-in votes will not count.
