Months after Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko abruptly announced she would not seek re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives, the Peoria-area lawmaker has filed to run for a seat on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.

Lesko plans to run to represent the 4th Congressional District, a conservative-leaning area that stretches across the northwestern Valley and includes some of the same geographic area as her congressional district.

The announcement came days after coach Clint Hickman announced he would not seek re-election.

Hickman has held the position for more than a decade and was one of several county supervisors to face false claims of election fraud after the 2020 and 2022 elections.
