Jacob Weinberg is the chief financial officer of an AI company that tracks shopper behavior for retailers and an officer in the Arizona Army National Guard. He moved to Chandler from Scottsdale, filed as a precinct committeeman in the district in March and has not held elected office. He breaks with most Arizona Democrats in defending the state's 2.5% flat tax, calling it a "winning tax rate," and he wants the Legislature's spending limits on cities lifted.
