(February 19) New faces: Pima County voters are going to cast their ballots this year for county supervisors in a time of “political upheaval,” the Sentinel’s Jim Nintzel writes in his rundown of county supervisors’ races. After all the changes to the makeup of the Pima County Board of Supervisors over the past few years, the longest-serving supervisor is now Steve Christy, who was elected in 2016. (It’s a whole package of stories, so be sure to click on the links for each district race)

(February 20) Out and in: Republican candidate Beatrice Cory Stephens dropped out of the District 2 county supervisor race, then jumped back in, the Sentinel’s Nintzel reported. Stephens is trying to win the seat held by Supervisor Matt Heinz. She posted on social media on Monday that she didn’t see a way to win and planned to drop out. But after encouragement from state Sen. Justine Wadsack and state Rep. Cory McGarr, both Republicans from Legislative District 17, Stephens decided to get back in the race.

(March 3) Challenger for Christy: A Democrat is now challenging Pima County Supervisor Steve Christy in the District 4 race, the Tucson Sentinel's Jim Nintzel reports. Vanessa Bechtol, vice president of strategic initiatives at Visit Tucson, entered the race to unseat Christy, the lone Republican on the board. She looks forward to working collaboratively to “get things done,” she said.

"I welcome her to the race and look forward to beating her on the way to a third term," Christy said.

(March 24) GOP rival: Pima County Supervisor Steve Christy, the lone Republican on the board of supervisors, has his first Republican challenger for the District 4 seat, county records show. Callie Basham Tippett threw her hat in the ring, but she still has to gather enough signatures by April 1 to get on the ballot, as does Democratic challenger Vanessa Bechtol.

(March 28) The race is on: The new challenger to Pima County Supervisor Steve Christy is hustling to gather signatures before the April 1 deadline, the Tucson Sentinel’s Jim Nintzel reports. Callie Tippett, a Republican who serves on the Vail Unified School District governing board, said she has her “work cut out for me,” but she wants to give voters a choice in who represents them.

(April 10) Amid a budget crunch, the county supervisors are debating whether to raise property taxes. They’re still a good stretch away from deciding, but Supervisors Matt Heinz and Sylvia Lee urged the rest of the Board of Supervisors to keep a tax hike on the table as they deal with state legislators shifting costs to counties.

(April 1) Missed deadline: Pima County Supervisor Matt Heinz is two months late on filing his campaign finance report, the Green Valley News’ Dan Shearer reports. Heinz said the reports are usually filed by a campaign staffer and there wasn’t much fundraising activity, but he would look into it. The law says late filers should pay small fines, $10 or $25 a day, but the fines are often waived.

(April 16) The Pima County supervisors are set to weigh in on the 1864 abortion ban at their meeting today. Supervisor Matt Heinz wants the board to approve a resolution that condemns the “archaic” ban and affirms that access to abortion is “critical to protecting and supporting the public’s health.” The resolution also would back up County Attorney Laura Conover’s promise not to prosecute anyone on abortion-related charges. The board would recognize that Gov. Katie Hobbs declared those prosecutions will go through the office of Attorney General Kris Mayes. Like Conover, Mayes said she has no intention whatsoever of prosecuting anyone under the 1864 ban. (Tucson Agenda)
