Maricopa County election 2024: Here's who is running for Board of Supervisors

This year's election cycle is expected to be a pivotal one for Maricopa County, the most populous in Arizona.

Its past decade has been dominated by a population boom, mounting costs from a landmark racial profiling lawsuit, several high-profile resignations and a wave of election denialism that has led to threats against sitting elected officials.

Now, all of its top seats are up for grabs.

Voters will weigh in on county supervisors, who serve on a five-member board responsible for setting a vision and direction for the region.

County supervisors directly control the county's $4.5 billion checkbook. That gives them authority over the resources of the Sheriff's Office, Attorney's Office and other departments with elected heads.
