On Aug. 4, Scottsdale City Council candidate Bob Littlefield stunned support when he formally withdrew his candidacy. As a result, Littlefield will not appear on the general election ballot. Eight candidates sought election for three available City Council seats in the July 21 primary election. The Scottsdale City Council canvassed the election results at its August 3 meeting. The remaining two council seats will be decided in the November general election.
