## Resource

Wickenburgs Town Council elections in 2026 are heating up, with incumbents Kristy Bedoian, Art Rubash, and Brian Jones seeking re-election, and newcomer Tim Hulme challenging for a seat. The council, consisting of six members and an at-large mayor, has staggered four-year terms, meaning only three seats are up for grabs this cycle. The incumbents bring deep community roots and diverse experiences, while Hulme aims to bring fresh perspectives. The elections will shape the councils direction for the next four years in this close-knit Arizona town. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
