Marlene Pearce is rescinding her run for a Maricopa City Council seat in favor of a bid for county supervisor in District 4.
Pearce, a Maricopa local, is making her run after an eight-year career working for Pinal County including her most recent position of district administrator under current Supervisor Anthony Smith.
She is currently running against Dan Frank, a Maricopa Planning and Zoning Commission member, as well as Jeff McClure, a Saddlebrooke resident and president of the Oracle School District Governing Board.
Pearce has been Smith’s administrator since 2013. Formerly a Realtor and a finalist in the 2012 City Council election, she has lived in Pinal County for 15 years. She believes her current position has helped her strengthen her ties to the community and county organizations.
