Vote YES on Prop 410
Respect the Voter
Prop 410 is a proposed update to the Chandler City Charter. The City Charter is like Chandler’s rulebook — it sets the main rules for how the city is run. By law, changes to the City Charter must be approved by the voters, so the City Council placed Prop 410 on the ballot for the community to decide.

Reasons to Vote Yes on Prop 410:
Keeps term limits in place.
The Mayor and City Council already have limits on how long they can serve, and Prop 410 makes sure those limits stay the same.
Respects the Voter.
Since the 1960s, Chandler has followed the same election rules. Prop 410 keeps those rules clear and in place so everyone knows how elections work.
Stops secret deals.
Prop 410 makes sure no one can try to take away the public’s right to vote for Mayor by making back-room deals. Only the voters get to decide.
What Prop 410 Does NOT Do?
It does not extend or change the length of Mayor or City Council terms.
It does not eliminate qualified candidates without a public vote.

This upcoming vote is not just about policy — it’s about preserving the proven and effective way our citizens were heard in the 90’s. We must not allow anyone to distort or
rewrite the intent of our charter for political convenience. Let’s make sure anyone running
for office does so on their own merit. Vote YES to clarify the language in our City Charter.

Committed to Public Safety and Strong Local Leadership
As firefighters, we’ve served the Chandler community through many Council and Mayor elections. This is the first time we have ever seen an issue with the council members running for Mayor after serving two terms. The City Charter already treats the Mayor’s role as separate with its own election process. Voting to clarify this language ensures we don’t unintentionally block experienced leaders from running. These are the people who understand what it takes to manage public safety, emergency response, and firefighter resources in critical moments. Supporting this change helps protect the knowledge, stability, and leadership that keep both our firefighters and our community safe.

Public Safety is a high priority for Chandler residents, and we are proud to protect and serve our community. We care about the integrity of our city’s leadership and stability in keeping Chandler residents safe.
That’s why we urge you to vote YES on PROP 410 – to keep Chandler term limits and ensure experienced leaders can continue to serve effectively.
Prop 410 cleans up language by clearly limiting service to two consecutive for-year terms as a councilmember and two consecutive four-year terms as a mayor with a break before running again. This clarifies the longstanding practice the city has operated on.
Your yes vote will simply clarify the language to follow current practice and most importantly, uphold the intent of the current charter that was voted in by the citizens of Chandler.
Clear rules mean fair elections. As public safety professionals, we value transparency, consistency, and trust in our city government. When the rules are clear everyone benefits from steady, accountable leadership.
