Several Seats On Phoenix City Council To Be Vacated Amid Election Runs

At 5 p.m. Wednesday, Phoenix Councilman Daniel Valenzuela will officially lose his City Council title.

He's resigning to run for mayor, and isn't the the only person on the council to do so. Councilwoman Kate Gallego will also be resigning.

The moves shake up a city that, less than two months ago, saw the mayor leave to run for Congress.

KJZZ’s Christina Estes joined The Show to talk about how a political game of musical chairs will unfold in the next several weeks.
