The final day for candidate nomination papers for the Electrical District Number Seven Directors’ election was October 12, 2020. As there are two Director positions up for election this year, and only one candidate petition was filed for each position, the District hereby requests that the Maricopa Board of Supervisors cancel the January 9, 2021, directors’ election. The Board positions that are up for election in 2021 are Director seats that are currently filled by David Justice and Michael Francis. Copies of their nomination papers are enclosed. Please place this matter on the agenda for the next formal Maricopa Board of Supervisors meeting which, we understand, will be on November 18, 2020. Please call me if you have any questions. Very truly yours, Doth dong Enclosures c: R.D. Justice (w/out encl.) 4771811.1 10/23/20
