Background
Albert Jay Tibshraeny, Jr. was born in Mesa, Arizona in 1954. He is of Lebanese descent on his father's side. When Jay was born, his father was a cotton farmer around Eloy, Arizona. His parents were married on February 16, 1947. Jay has one brother Mike and two sisters Joyce and Janice. He graduated high school in 1972. He attended Arizona State University where he received a bachelor's degree in accounting in 1977. For ten years, during and after his college years, Jay worked with his father in the construction business.[3]
Political career
Planning and Zoning Commissioner
Jay got into politics in 1979 when Chandler held its first and only recall election in which the mayor and several city council members were removed from office. In 1980, Jay was appointed to Chandler's Planning and Zoning Commission. He worked with the construction of Intel's plant in West Chandler.[3]
First mayorship
In 1986, Tibshraeny ran for Chandler City Council, winning a seat in March of that year. He attributes his achievement to his "involvement with youth and things". In 1990, he became vice-mayor of Chandler under Coy Payne, the first black mayor in Arizona. In 1994, Tibshraeny ran for mayor of Chandler. He took the seat in March, and during his time as mayor, he saw the Chandler's transition from a rural town to a bedroom community for Phoenix. He oversaw the construction of the Chandler Fashion Center.[3] He was reelected to the position four times over the next eight years, the maximum number of times a mayor can be reelected in Chandler.[lower-alpha 1]
Arizona State Senator
In 2002, Tibshraeny ran for the newly created 21st District in the southeastern Phoenix metro area. The district includes parts of Chandler and Queen Creek. He won the primary election, held on September 10, 2002, beating the only other candidate, Morris Cooper.[7] This meant that Tibshraeny ran unopposed in the general elections on November 5 in the same year.[8]
Second mayorship
Tibshraeny was a state senator for eight years. In 2010, Tibshraeny stepped down and ran once again for mayor of Chandler. He ran unopposed, winning over 99% of the votes. 0.73% of the votes went to a write-in candidate.[4] He ran again in 2011 for mayorship, and like the previous term, ran unopposed.[9] His term will expire in 2019.
