Tammy Caputi owns a lighting and electrical supply company. She lost a 2016 House race, won an at-large Scottsdale City Council seat in 2020 and lost reelection in 2024. A development-friendly council member, she voted as a lame duck to approve Axon's corporate campus and its 1,900 apartments, which prompted the Legislature to pass a bill blocking a citizen referendum. She says she has spent her career "making payroll," not making promises.
