The Maricopa County Recorder’s Office has appointed a new elections director, the latest top post named by Recorder Adrian Fontes as he remakes the agency.
Reynaldo “Rey” Valenzuela, a 26-year veteran of the Maricopa County Elections Department, now will be the permanent director after filling in since January, when former Elections Director Karen Osborne retired.
The county reviewed about 60 applications from across the country, said Fontes, who was elected in November.
