Maricopa County Supervisor Clint Hickman Announces He Will Not Seek Re-election

Citing family reasons and a desire for more time with loved ones, Hickman steps down amid ongoing threats and harassment following the 2020 election.

Clint Hickman, a Republican supervisor in Arizona's Maricopa County, announced he will not run for re-election, citing the desire to spend more time with his family.
Hickman faced significant pressure and threats from within his own party and others for his role in confirming the county’s 2020 vote totals, which favored Joe Biden.
The supervisor, who has been in office since 2013, has been a target of unfounded voting conspiracies and harassment, including death threats and protests at his home.
His decision adds to the list of election officials leaving their posts amid a wave of threats and unfounded conspiracies surrounding the 2020 and 2022 elections.
Hickman's term will continue until early 2025, and he will still be in office when the county canvasses the 2024 vote.
