Statement from Supervisor Gates on Supervisor Hickman's Decision to Not Seek Re-Election to District 4 Seat
“It has been one of the greatest honors and privileges of my career to serve with Supervisor Clint Hickman for the past 7+ years. Clint brought a business perspective to the Board of Supervisors and helped Maricopa County become a low-tax, low-regulation oasis in the desert. People vote with their feet, and more than half a million people have moved to Maricopa County during Supervisor Hickman's time on the board.
As chairman in 2020, Clint Hickman faced intense pressure from leaders of our party to disregard his oath and refuse to certify the results of the Presidential Election. Chairman Hickman’s courage in standing up to this pressure as well as his commitment to doing the right thing have long inspired me and my colleagues to serve with the same integrity.
Clint has always been a family man first, and he is as proud of his wonderful wife and his three children as he is of the incredible legacy of the Hickman family in the West Valley. Maricopa County is losing a remarkable public servant in Clint Hickman – but I sincerely hope that he enjoys whatever adventure comes next.”
