Town Council Candidate

Bringing Transparency and Solutions to the Town of Gilbert

As a long-time Gilbert resident and business owner, Joel Coen has built his career, raised his family, and invested deeply in the community he now seeks to serve. His decision to run for Town Council is not driven by politics or ambition, but by a belief that Gilbert works best when leadership is transparent, solutions-focused, and grounded in real-world experience.

Gilbert First: Clear Leadership, Practical Solutions.

In this campaign, “Clear Leadership. Real Solutions.” represents a commitment to serving Gilbert with transparency, accountability, and thoughtful decision-making. It reflects a focus on practical actions that produce measurable results, protect our quality of life, and ensure the town is managed responsibly. This effort is about addressing real challenges with clarity and follow-through, while keeping Gilbert a community where families and businesses can plan for the future with confidence.

Clear Leadership. Real Solutions.

Gilbert is facing real infrastructure challenges that require immediate, transparent leadership. Rising water rates and critical upgrades to aging water and wastewater systems are impacting residents today, and people deserve clear communication about why these decisions are being made and how they affect our future. My focus is on confronting these realities directly, managing infrastructure investments responsibly, and ensuring solutions protect Gilbert’s quality of life without placing unnecessary burden on families or businesses.

“My commitment to you goes beyond politics; it is about bringing clarity, honesty, and accountability to local leadership, clearly explaining decisions, tradeoffs, and responsibilities while protecting what makes Gilbert strong and preparing our town for a stable, transparent, and trusted future we can stand behind together.”
