Unofficial results from the Maricopa County Elections Department show Barry Graham winning re-election and Michelle Ugenti-Rita winning a seat on the Scottsdale City Council in the Nov. 3 general election, the city said in a news release.

The city said nearly 72 percent of Scottsdale’s registered voters participated. One of the three council seats on this cycle was already settled in the July 21 primary, when incumbent Solange Whitehead received enough votes to win re-election. The other two seats were decided Nov. 3.

Graham, Ugenti-Rita and Whitehead are each scheduled to begin four-year terms in January 2027, according to the city. The results remain unofficial until the City Council formally approves them through the election canvass. City Clerk Ben Lane thanked voters, election workers, city staff and Maricopa County partners in the city’s release.
