Parducci, the owner of Holiday RV Park, says he believes he has helped create positive and worthwhile changes in the city in the last four years. Prior to being mayor, Parducci served eight years on the City Council. He said the council has worked hard on improving the livability of the city through the city center plan and new park along Bear Creek. If Parducci wins a third term, it will be his last. In 1990, Phoenix voters approved term limits for city officials, restricting the mayor to no more than three consecutive two-year terms.
Council members are limited to two four-year terms.
