Newspaper chooses Hickman as best candidate in
District 4 race
GOODYEAR—Maricopa County Supervisor Clint Hickman has received the endorsement of the Arizona Republic, the largest newspaper in Maricopa County, in his campaign for District 4 Supervisor.
The Arizona Republic cited Hickman’s leadership style as a main reason for their endorsement stating, “Hickman, a co-owner of Hickman’s Family Farms, has served a mostly successful and productive stint as an appointed supervisor. He is part of the new era of county leadership that has produced fewer bad headlines and some solid government work.”
“I’m very excited to have earned the endorsement of the Arizona Republic,” stated Supervisor Hickman. “I’ve focused on bringing a fresh approach to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and I’m happy to see that be recognized. I’ll continue to work on keeping our government efficient, our taxes low and making sure West Valley businesses have the tools they need to grow and flourish.”
The Arizona Republic joins Governor Jan Brewer, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, former Supervisor Max Wilson and many others across the West Valley as supporters of Supervisor Hickman’s campaign. The campaign has also passed out hundreds of yard signs to supporters and has built a wide coalition of support for Supervisor Hickman’s election.
Supervisor Hickman’s priorities for District 4 include promoting and protecting Luke Air Force Base, reducing harmful regulations and creating a business-friendly environment in the West Valley. You can learn more about Supervisor Clint Hickman and his campaign at www.electclinthickman.com.
