In the battle of endorsements by former mayors of future mayor-wannabe’s, it looks like it’s Greg Stanton 2, Wes Gullett 1-ish.
It would be 2 if you include someone who only served as mayor for 10 days.
Gullett has been endorsed by former Phoenix mayors Paul Johnson and John Nelson, now a state senator, who served briefly as mayor when Johnson resigned to run for governor.
Nelson’s 10-day stint was over when the City Council appointed
Councilwoman Thelda Williams as temporary mayor. So, we’re not sure if
Nelson really qualifies …
Anyway …
Stanton picked up endorsements by former Phoenix mayors Skip Rimsza and Terry Goddard, former state Attorney General.
