Honorable Al Gameros currently serves as the Mayor of the City of Globe, Arizona. Prior to his election as Mayor of Globe, Al spent nearly 30 years as a firefighter, 18 of which were spent as Fire Chief. He is active with his church and makes himself available to any constituent who wishes to be heard. In October of last year, a crisis hit the Globe-Miami community when the local domestic violence shelter learned that state-funding was being discontinued after 20 years of operation. Mayor Gameros worked tirelessly with state-level leaders, local tribes, local nonprofits and the county to advocate for the shelter and find solutions. In a triumph of leadership. Mayor Gameros’ collaborative efforts were rewarded and a new shelter for victims of domestic violence is currently in the works.
