Thelda Williams Named Interim Phoenix Mayor Amid City Council Infighting

Thelda Williams.

The city of Phoenix has a new mayor. Though she’ll only be holding the position until election results determine former Mayor Greg Stanton’s longer-term successor, Thelda Williams takes the reins of the city for a third interim period, and she’ll serve at least until November.

In addition to that news, there’s also some infighting among council members — and it starts with Sal DiCiccio.

Jessica Boehm, who covers the council for the Arizona Republic, joined The Show to talk about it.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
