Supervisors appoint Plumlee to Legislative District 26
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors this morning chose Democrat Celeste Plumlee as the newest representative from Legislative District 26.

Pancrazi opts not to seek re-election
Yuma Democrat Lynne Pancrazi won’t seek re-election to the Arizona Senate next year.
The two-term senator will instead run for an open seat on the Yuma County Board of Supervisors, she told the Arizona Capitol Times Monday afternoon. Pancrazi announced her decision at a dinner in Yuma on Dec. 3, where she also endorsed Rep. Lisa Otondo, D-Yuma, who’ll run for the open Senate seat in Legislative District 4.
