The Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission has selected five finalists to be its executive director and will conduct interviews at its next meeting.
The commission on Tuesday narrowed down the list of 43 applicants. The still anonymous finalists include veterans of state and county government who have worked for governors and attorneys general, as well as a former redistricting commission employee.
The identities of the applicants were kept confidential, as legal precedent only requires them to become public once they are selected as finalists. Chairwoman Erika Neuberg said the candidates will only be publicly identified after they’ve accepted the interview requests that the commission will extend, which she didn’t expect to happen until Wednesday.
