Dear Friends,
Election season has begun! On the ballot for the August 4th primary are three candidates for Mayor.
Because we could not hold our usual Candidate Forum, Friends of Flagstaff’s Future asked candidates for written responses to 12 questions.
Find out what the candidates have to say about development, spending priorities, cost of living, climate action, policing, and responding to the challenges of Covid-19!
The city of Flagstaff would like to inform all Flagstaff voters that there is an inconsistency between the voting instructions in the publicity pamphlet and the voting instructions on the ballot with respect to how many candidates to vote for in the mayoral primary. The instructions on the ballot are correct. Please follow the instructions on the ballot and vote for only one mayoral candidate. Pursuant to the City Charter, the two mayoral candidates who receive the most votes in the primary election will advance to the general election.
Early voting for the August 4, 2020 Primary Election started Wednesday, July 8. The Coconino County Elections office mailed out over 44,600 early ballots to voters on the permanent early voting list (PEVL) and those who have requested a single election early ballot for the Primary Election.
Coconino County Recorder Patty Hansen urges all Coconino County registered voters to request an early ballot be mailed to them, or to vote early in person at one of the early voting locations.
The Coconino County Elections Office urges voters to request an early ballot for the upcoming August 4 Primary and November 3 General Elections. “Our office wants to make sure these two important elections are conducted in the safest manner possible for our voters, poll workers and staff,” stated County Recorder Patty Hansen. “Voting by mail is extremely secure and the best method for voting in these times of social distancing.”
Resistance. Quiet, persistent resistance.
Every once in a while, that resistance comes to everyone and everything.
As we note Earth Day this week, we are reminded of that resistance. In our stay-safe-at-home times, we are now seeing a world where the air is cleaner, the sound of nature is clearer and the Earth is actually healing itself a little at a time. There is a chilling, yet quiet beauty seeing the streets of Paris, London, Rome and New York virtually empty and nature going on quite well without us.
It’s as if Earth finally said, “ENOUGH.”
