OPINION
HOWARD, Chief Judge.
¶ 1 The City of Tucson appeals from the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of appellees State of Arizona, Southern Arizona Leadership Council, and former state senator Jonathan Patón (collectively “state”). The city argues the court erred because the Tucson city charter regarding local elections supersedes the legislature’s 2009 amendments to A.R.S. § 9-821.01.
