PHOENIX—Maricopa County District 4 Supervisor Clint Hickman filed over 1,700 petition nomination signatures today to appear on the August primary ballot. Supervisor Hickman collected signatures from throughout the West Valley and filed nearly double the minimum amount needed to qualify.
“I’m very excited to officially file our signatures today and continue to build momentum for our campaign,” stated Supervisor Hickman. “As I traveled throughout District 4 and met with voters, I heard the same message: West Valley residents want efficient government and an emphasis from our county leaders on protecting taxpayer dollars. As Supervisor, I will keep fighting to reduce harmful, unnecessary regulations and make sure the County lives within its means and your money is protected.”
With his signature amount at nearly double the minimum amount required, Supervisor Hickman is virtually assured of appearing on the ballot for the August 26th election.
