yahoo news | SRP election results: Clean Energy Team wins majority - KTAR.com

The Salt River Project (SRP) board election attracted unusually high attention after the conservative advocacy group Turning Point Action entered the race. Early voting began on March 11, and landowners in SRP’s ten voting divisions cast weighted votes based on property size. Most contests turned into head‑to‑heads between candidates endorsed by Turning Point Action and those backed by a coalition calling itself the Clean Energy Team.

Unofficial results released on Wednesday showed Turning Point Action losing the bulk of board seats to Clean Energy Team candidates, though its two top‑ticket contenders – Chris Dobson and Barry Paceley – secured the SRP presidency and vice‑presidency. Maricopa County Supervisor Thomas Galvin praised the victories on X but called the overall performance a “complete botch job.” The Clean Energy Team had expected to be outspent by a ten‑to‑one margin, but the spending gap did not translate into a sweep for Turning Point.

Detailed vote totals reveal a clear split: Dobson (TPA) edged out his opponent with 5,401 / 5,373 votes, and Paceley (TPA) won 4,531 / 4,499. Clean Energy candidates won all at‑large and division seats shown, with margins ranging from a few hundred to several thousand votes. SRP, a non‑profit utility serving about 1.1 million Phoenix‑area customers, will have the full unofficial results posted on its website, and the official canvass will be completed on Monday.

“We're not a racist organization, and we don't racial profile.”

That’s a claim that Sheriff Jerry Sheridan has made again and again.

But annual reviews of every traffic stop or arrest of a Latino person have repeatedly contradicted him.
