Each ward is represented by one Council Member. Together with the Mayor, the Council Members form the Tucson City Council. The Tucson City Council helps address concerns that you may have about your neighborhood, your city, and the services provided by your local city government.
The role of the mayor in the council varies depending on whether or not the city uses council-manager government or mayor-council government, and by the nature of the statutory authority given to it by state law, city charter, or municipal ordinance. There is also a mayor pro tem councilmember. In cities where the council elects the mayor for one year at a time, the mayor pro tem is in line to become the mayor in the next year. In cities where the mayor is elected by the city's voters, the mayor pro tem serves as acting mayor in the absence of the mayor.
