Republican Julie Willoughby, who narrowly lost a general election race, will replace former state Rep. Liz Harris, an election denier who was expelled last month.
In a 4-1 vote, the GOP-led Maricopa County Board of Supervisors selected Julie Willoughby, a Republican nurse who campaigned alongside Harris during the 2022 GOP primary but later narrowly lost the general election, coming in third. Willoughby was endorsed by Kari Lake, the Donald Trump-backed GOP gubernatorial candidate who still falsely claims she won her own contest.
County supervisor Steve Gallardo was the lone dissenting vote Friday. After praising the process, he alluded to Willoughby being aligned with Lake and Harris when it came to their beliefs on election integrity. On Wednesday, Maricopa County Vice Chair Jack Sellers interviewed the three GOP nominees, asking them their positions on future transportation funding for the fast-growing metro Phoenix area, the region’s growing problem with homelessness and the integrity of the 2020 and 2022 elections.
Sellers said that, in his interview with Harris, she maintained that her removal from the Arizona House was “improper and unlawful.” He said he believed she had the right to pursue a remedy to that, but that the board also had to consider the weight of the votes of the House members who made a choice to expel her.
