In Phoenix mayoral race, Evans (R) attacks Gallego (D) while she ignores him

Sitting Mayor Kate Gallego and Matt Evans, a political newcomer and software engineer, are facing off to become mayor of Phoenix on Nov. 5.

Gallego, 43, and Evans, 36, have expressed very different priorities this election cycle. Both said they want better futures but differed in how to get there.

Gallego's campaign focused on making Phoenix "future-proofed." Evans' message focused on solving crime and homelessness.

Evans frequently attacked Gallego, while Gallego ignored Evans. He painted her as failed leader and career politician who only cares about her own career aspirations. Some of his attacks were denounced by Jewish organizations as antisemitic.

"I'm running for for mayor of Phoenix because Kate Gallego is ruining our city," Evans told a group of voters in October.
