Seven people have filed to fill Ally Miller's District One seat as Pima County Supervisor. This is a partisan election. There are four republican and three democrat candidates. They will compete in the August 2020 primary. The winners will be on the November Ballot.
A competitive race
Supervisors are elected by district. There are five districts: Five supervisors. The term of service is 4 years. Most supervisors run for reelection so a real competitive election rarely occurs. This one, however, may be the exception.
District One is more than Oro Valley
District One includes all of Oro Valley. It includes pieces of Marana, Catalina Foothills, and unincorporated areas north to the county line and south past River Road. These areas have little in common. So, it is a challenge to serve as district one supervisor.

The seven candidates
Oro Valley council member Rhonda Pina is running on the republican ticket. Three other people are running as republicans. Two are Steve Spain and Bill Beard. Former state representative Vic Williams is also a republican candidate. His papers were not visible on the county web site.
Current supervisor Ally Miller has endorsed Spain. Beard is a former special staff assistant to Miller.
There are three democratic candidates: Rex Scott, Brian Radford and Jeff Farrell. All filed in September.
Pina raised $53,000 in one month
Oro Valley Council Member Rhonda Pina entered the race in December. Her PAC has raised almost $53,000 (source) in just one month! Major contributors include Jim Click Family ($12,900) and the Assenmacher Family ($12,900). William Assenmacher, President of CAID and on the board of Fly Tucson, is the PAC's chairperson. Other contributors are HSL and related ($6,950), GRFD board member Vicki Cox Golder ($3,000), and members of Diamond Ventures ($3,750). Pina also loaned $20,000 to her campaign. The other republican candidates just filed for their candidacy this month.
It should be an interesting District One race
