Shari Weise - Candidate for City Council

When did your term begin on the Avondale City Council?

January 2025

What do you enjoy most about serving on City Council? 

Being engaged in the community! Meeting residents and listening to their concerns, volunteering at community events, and finding solutions through thoughtful, respectful debate. 

Why should residents consider voting for you in 2028?  

I continually seek opportunities to learn. I will always choose to tighten the city's budget rather than raise taxes. I strongly support Public Safety and the leverage of technology to keep residents safe. I've advocated for ADA-compliant parks and expansion of our wastewater treatment plant through bonding without raising taxes. 

What do you see as the biggest concerns facing residents?  

 Water security, affordable housing, and transportation are the concerns that come to mind. I've attended multiple local water meetings to increase my knowledge. I serve regionally on the Arizona League of Cities and Towns' Neighborhoods, Sustainability, and Quality of Life Committee and was appointed in June 2026 to serve on the Maricopa Association of Governments: Transportation Policy Committee
