new leadership for a greater prescott valley

During the last four years, citizens’ quality of life concerns have been ignored. Integrity, infrastructure, and essential services are lacking. The character and natural resources of Prescott Valley are not protected or preserved. 

It's time for a change.

Citizens deserve leaders who will value citizen participation and allow residents to influence policy and local government priorities.

Support candidates who will lead Prescott Valley with integrity, transparency and respect for all citizens.  

PVCA endorses candidates with integrity and good character whose positions on critical issues align well with our objectives including:

• Policy that prioritizes the needs of the citizens

• Code of ethics for elected officials

• Accountability and transparent decision-making

• Conservation of natural resources and wildlife

• Prudent growth, sustainable water management and adequate infrastructure and medical services

Vote for the candidates who will be the change we need.

*Here’s how determining a majority and how election at the Primary works. [ARS § 9- 821.01 (D) (E)].  The following is an excerpt from the Prescott Valley Candidate Handbook 2024

Any candidate who receives at the Primary Election a majority of the votes cast for that candidate’s race is declared elected at the Primary to the office for which he or she is a candidate.

A “majority” is calculated by dividing the total number of valid votes cast by the number of seats to be filled, dividing that number in half, and rounding to the next highest whole number.

The candidates receiving the highest number of votes at the Primary Election, (excluding those who receive a majority and are declared elected) will have their names placed on the General Election ballot.
