Tucson 2017 Election Results: No Raises For Mayor, City Council

Tucson voters were happy enough with their city council to send two incumbents back for another term. They were not, however, happy enough to give them raises.

Richard Fimbres, running unopposed in Ward 5, received 94 percent of the vote and Steve Kozachik received 60 percent of the vote to get another term representing Ward 6.

In Ward 3, Paul Durham received 59 percent of the vote, defeating Gary Watson.

None of these people will be seeing their pay increase. Voters overwhelmingly rejected a proposal for pay hikes for the mayor and city council. It went down 72 percent to 28 percent.

Voters also said no to a proposal to provide financial aid for eligible families so they can pay for preschool education.

The fate of proposed improvements to Reid Park Zoo remains up in the air.

Voters had to pass two separate propositions to raise the sales tax to provide funding for the improvements.

One narrowly passed while, as of Wednesday morning, the other was on the verge of being rejected but it was still too close to call with more votes still to be counted.
