MARICOPA COUNTY BOARD 5-member board has had just 1 Dem for decades.
@JevinforAZ on track to be 2nd Dem & 1st African American on board
Dem Whitney Walker giving veteran GOP Supe Bill Gates huge scare. Down 489 votes. Would be 2nd African-American supe & give Dems majority.


MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF Dem Paul Penzone ousted Joe Arpaio 4 years ago. Trounced Arpaio & now Arpaio's top deputy. Penzone is 1st countywide candidate to break 1 million votes.
MARICOPA COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT Not a high-profile office, but Democrat Jeanne Casteen appears on track to end GOP grip.
MARICOPA COUNTY RECORDER In 2016, Dem Adrian Fontes ended GOP's decades-long hold on top elections office. He was targeted by GOP this yr. Appears Fontes will survive vs political newcomer Stephen Richer.
AND AT TOP OF BALLOT
Biden would be 1st Democrat to win Maricopa County in 72 years.
Kelly is 2nd Democrat in 2 years to win Maricopa, after @SenatorSinema in '18. (end)
