Aaron Accurso and Kenny Buckland face off in Gilbert runoff for council seat.

Gilbert residents will cast their votes in November to fill the remaining open seat that was not claimed in the primary elections.

Aaron Accurso and Kenny Buckland will have a rematch in the general election to secure the unclaimed Gilbert Town Council seat.

Neither candidate reached the vote threshold to outright win the election in July.

Throughout the ballot counts, the margins between all candidates were razor thin. In the end, Monte Lyons pulled ahead and was the only candidate to surpass the threshold to win outright.

In early returns, Buckland was ahead with Accurso in last place after Noah Mundt. Accurso later pulled ahead to second place.

Just a few hundred votes separated Accurso from Buckland.

Councilmember Scott Anderson won his bid for the mayoral seat beating Natalie DiBernardo.

The Town Council will certify the election on Tuesday.

What Accurso and Buckland had to say about the results?

Publicly Buckland and Accurso stayed quiet in the days following and only when ballot counting wrapped up did they address their supporters on their campaign Facebook pages.

Buckland congratulated Lyons on his win and thanked his supporters.

“I look forward to continuing a respectful, civil campaign to the finish line,” Buckland wrote.

A main point of Buckland’s campaign has been returning the Town Council to “civility” and making town politics “boring again.”

Buckland is a former commander of the Gilbert Police Department and retired from the town in 2016. He previously owned a small business and currently works as a sales director for a consulting company. He moved to Gilbert after he retired.

Accurso wrote it is “vital” for his success that his supporters remain engaged through November.

He has lived in Gilbert for 17 years and is a devout Catholic. He works as a construction manager for a local pool company. He chose to run because he feels the current council is “getting further away from the will of the people,” he told The Arizona Republic in a candidate questionnaire. For him, that in part means more strictly following Gilbert's general plan, a long-term planning document that sets forth land uses and development standards.
