MOST INFLUENTIAL\u00a0IN VALLEY POLITICS:\u00a0Phoenix Mayor\u00a0Greg Stanton<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 2012, Mayor Greg Stanton has\u00a0served the city of Phoenix with a focus\u00a0on building an economy that works for\u00a0every area family. In an effort to make\u00a0Phoenix a more welcoming place, it\u00a0became the first U.S. city to end chronic\u00a0homelessness among veterans and earn\u00a0a perfect score on the Human Rights\u00a0Campaign\u2019s municipal equality index.\u00a0The city also gained national recognition\u00a0as a leader on LGBT issues by passing\u00a0a non-discrimination ordinance. Mayor\u00a0Stanton is now in his second term.\u00a0@MayorStanton<\/a>. Photo by Kayla Fisher.<\/p>\n
