Phoenix Mayoral Debate: Advancing Sustainability
View the PDF FlyerWes Gullett
- Candidate for Phoenix Mayor
Greg Stanton
- Candidate for Phoenix Mayor
Over the past decade, Phoenix has made significant gains in sustainability. In 2009, Mayor Phil Gordon introduced an ambitious 17-point plan, Green Phoenix, to transform the city into a national sustainability leader. If sustainability is to be an economic driver of our region, how can the city’s next mayor extend the gains of the last decade?
Candidates Wes Gullett and Greg Stanton will discuss sustainability in Phoenix and beyond in this Case Critical debate. Moderated by Rob Melnick, Executive Dean, Global Institute of Sustainability.
Parking is free for those arriving after 4pm at the University Center Garage (on Polk between Central and 1st Street).
This event is co-sponsored by the Green Chamber of Greater Phoenix.

Case Critical: Arizona's Renewable Energy Standard: What lies ahead?
A forum with Arizona Corporation Commission Candidates:
David Bradley, Democrat
Brenda Burns, Republican (invited)

Gary Pierce, Republican (invited)
The Arizona Corporation Commission regulates public utilities in Arizona, including electricity, gas, water, and sewer. In 2006, the Commission established a state policy that requires electricity providers to obtain 15 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2025.
Will Arizona continue its transition to renewable energy sources like solar and wind? With two seats open on this five-seat commission, Arizona's renewable future hinges on the outcome of the November 2nd election. Candidates running for the Commission will give their perspectives on Arizona's Renewable Energy Standard. Meet them and see where they stand on this critical issue.
