Republican political newcomer John Backer announced his bid for the open seat in District 4, Pima County Board of Supervisors. From his Facebook campaign page:
“I want to announce that I have entered the race to become the next Pima County Supervisor for District 4. This is my first campaign, but something I’ve been wanting to do for some time. As we face challenges in our communities and our country, I’ve come to understand that I have been called on to play a more active role in creating solutions and giving a voice to those I plan to serve. There will be much more information coming, and I want to thank you in advance for supporting my campaign. “
