Winfield and three council members who ran as team in Aug. 2 primary are all expected to be declared the winners.
Arizona Daily Star The Oro Valley Town Council will meet in special session Thursday to adopt the results of the Aug. 2 election in which Mayor Joe Winfield narrowly held off his challenger.The election results show Winfield with 8,873 votes and Sharp, the former longtime town police chief, with 8,588 votes.
The town said mayoral candidates needed at least 8,731 votes in the Aug. 2 primary election to avoid having to run in the November general election. Since Winfield reached that total and Sharp did not, Winfield is scheduled to be declared the winner of the mayoral's race. In the council races, Melanie Barrett, with 9,292 votes, Joyce Jones-Ivey, with 8,650 votes, and Josh Nicolson, with 8,122 votes, are expected to be declared the winners of the three seats up for grabs. The three ran as a team along with Winfield.
