Barrett Runs for Oro Valley Mayor

Oro Valley Vice Mayor Melanie Barrett is launching her mayoral campaign, leveraging eight years on the council to showcase her proven track record in parks, public safety, and fiscal responsibility. With the election set for July 21, 2026, Barrett highlights key wins like reviving the town’s golf operations—turning a $2 million annual loss into a profit—and expanding Naranja Park with splash pads and playgrounds. She’s positioning Oro Valley as financially strong, with a balanced budget and solid growth plans, including commercial annexations, new retail, and a new police headquarters—all without raising taxes. Barrett’s message: she’s ready to build on what’s already working to keep Oro Valley safe, vibrant, and true to its mountain-town charm.
