Welcome to the latest political update from Arizona! In a surprising turn of events, Republican Jack Sellers has decided to endorse Democrat Joel Navarro for the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors seat.
In a recent statement, Sellers expressed his belief that Navarro would continue the important work of protecting election integrity in Maricopa County. This endorsement came after Sellers lost in the GOP primary race and chose to support Navarro over the GOP candidate.
Navarro, a former Tempe City Council member, welcomed Sellers’ endorsement and described him as a “friend and mentor.” Sellers emphasized the need for public officials who stand up against lies and misinformation, highlighting Navarro as one one of those leaders.
The decision to endorse a Democrat in a predominantly Republican county reflects the changing landscape of Arizona politics. With the upcoming general election for the District 1 seat, the race between Navarro and Chandler City Councilman Mark Stewart is heating up.
What’s Next?
Stewart and Navarro are competing in a district with over 700,000 residents, covering areas like Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Tempe, and Mesa. With the departure of Bill Gates and Clint Hickman, the county board will see three new members after the November election.
