It's like they intentionally obscure that so people will just read the platitudes on their website and mailer materials and vote based on that. I want to know their platform of beliefs, and what they plan to do if elected to council. I don't want a liberal who is going to kowtow to the school board, the teachers' unions and fuck over development and taxes in town.

Town Council members usually don’t belong to a party.
yeah but they do have personal beliefs. it would be helpful to know what party they align themselves with personally so I can get an idea what way they're likely going to make decisions. if they're liberal they're likely to prioritize open space, green crap and social justice, and raise taxes
I am a member of the local county Republican Commitee. We made a “Golden ticket” that listed the local pro Trump candidates, even the non politically affiliated candidates. I thought all active Repub committees did this.
Not in Phoenix, that I've noticed. I just do a search for each one and rule out anyone without any known stance.
Look at who endorsed them, that is usually very telling of what their political leanings are.
