The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors appointed a seventh Democrat to the state House of Representatives since January.
The board appointed former House Minority Leader Eric Meyer Monday morning to replace former Rep. Laura Terech, who resigned in June to work at the Secretary of State’s Office. The appointment fills a vacancy in Legislative District 4, which covers North Phoenix, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley.
“I am so excited and honored to be serving the constituents of Legislative District 4,” Meyer said in a Monday news release. “I enjoyed my years of prior service in the House and look forward to responding to the needs of my constituents and to the issues facing all Arizonans. I am humbled to have this opportunity and understand the importance and magnitude of my appointed position.”
