Joel Coen - 2026 Gilbert Town Council Candidate

The Gilbert Chamber of Commerce is committed to supporting a strong, pro-business environment by equipping our members with meaningful, nonpartisan insights into candidates seeking public office. As part of the Chamber’s formal endorsement process, all eligible candidates were invited to participate in recorded interviews focused on issues that impact the business community, including economic development, workforce, infrastructure, and the overall business climate. These interviews are reviewed and scored by business community stakeholders as part of the evaluation process. We encourage members to watch each candidate’s interview and utilize the provided scorecard to thoughtfully evaluate responses based on their own priorities and experiences. Feedback from the business community plays a critical role and will be considered alongside additional criteria in determining final endorsements. In addition to the endorsement interviews, the Chamber has also produced podcast conversations with candidates. These podcasts are intended solely to provide general information and additional perspective and are not part of the endorsement evaluation or scoring process. The Gilbert Chamber’s endorsements are nonpartisan and reflect a commitment to advancing policies and leadership that support a thriving business environment in Gilbert.
