The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on Monday appointed Rep. Flavio Bravo to replace the departed Raquel Terán in the Arizona Senate.
Bravo, a freshman Democratic legislator who represents parts of central and west Phoenix and Glendale, takes over for Terán a month after she announced her resignation to focus on her congressional run.
“It was a difficult decision because I respect all three of these community leaders,” Steve Gallardo, the lone Democrat on the board, said in a press release.
“Flavio Bravo knows this district well and will represent it vigorously in the Senate.”

Bravo will serve in the role in District 26 — the same district he represented in the House — through 2024.
Quantá Crews and Rep. Cesar Aguilar, who also represents District 26, were also nominated to fill the position, which had to be occupied by a Democrat.
