Phoenix City Council's two newest members, Betty Guardado and
Carlos Garcia, were sworn in June 6. The two represent districts 5
and 8 respectively, some of the lowest-income neighborhoods in
parts of west, south and downtown Phoenix. Guardado and Garcia come
from nontraditional backgrounds; Guardado has a background in union
organizing, and Garcia led an immigrants rights activist group
called Puente Arizona. Both also defeated their more traditional,
experienced opponents.  What does this surprising election say
about how Phoenix is changing? And how will residents feel the
effects? The Gaggle podcast hosts Yvonne Wingett Sanchez and Ron
Hansen break it down with Phoenix City Hall reporter Jessica Boehm.
