Maricopa County Board of Supervisors: Primary Election Results

PHOENIX — The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors will likely see at least three new faces this cycle after one current member was out following Tuesday’s primary election.

Jack Sellers, chairman and supervisor for District 1, was losing 66 percent to 34 percent to Chandler City Councilman Mark Stewart in the Republican primary. Sellers has served the district since 2019.

Stewart would face Democrat Joel Navarro, who ran unopposed on the Democratic side and is chairman of the Maricopa Association of Governments Human Services and Community Initiatives Committee.

In District 2, the board’s newest member, Thomas Galvin, appeared poised to defeat former state Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita in the Republican primary, leading 58 percent to 42 percent. Galvin would go up against Democrat Julie Cieniawski, an education advocate, in the general election.

Who will be the new members of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors?

Districts 3 and 4 will have new supervisors after Republicans Bill Gates and Clint Hickman both declined to run for re-election.

In District 3, former Republican state Sen. Kate Brophy McGee received 74 percent of the vote and will face Democrat and former Phoenix City Councilman Daniel Valenzuela.

District 4 saw former Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko take home 72 percent of the vote. Lesko and Democrat David Sandoval will eventually face off in the general.

Finally, the District 5 showdown between Steve Gallardo, the only incumbent Democrat on the Board of Supervisors, and Republican Ann Niemann has already been set, as both candidates ran unopposed.
