The Board appointed Patrick Moran to the position today. District 2 Supervisor Ramon Valadez made the nomination over the 4 other candidates. The vote was unanimous, 5-0.

Moran is an attorney licensed in the State of Arizona. Apparently he worked as a city attorney for the City of South Tucson. More information forthcoming. I will update with more bio info once I receive it from the Pima County Clerk.
