Maricopa County Supervisor Clint Hickman, a Republican who played a pivotal role during the 2020 election, has announced he will not seek reelection. His tenure was marked by his decision to certify the election results, which led to significant attention, harassment, threats, and conspiracy theories targeted at him, having a profound impact. Hickman cited the desire to spend more time with his family as a primary reason for his decision. Following Hickman's announcement, Debbie Lesko, a retiring Republican Congresswoman with nearly two decades of service in the Legislature and Congress, has filed to run for Hickman's District 4 seat on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. Lesko's candidacy is notable as she had previously refused to certify the Arizona vote in 2020. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors plays a crucial role in overseeing elections in this key swing county.
