Pima County Names New Treasurer | Tucson News

Pima County has a new treasurer, Jorge Soto, a former Citi executive with a finance pedigree and LGBTQ advocacy experience, who was unanimously chosen to replace Brian Johnson amid harassment allegations. Sworn in immediately after a 4-0 vote, Soto plans to run for full term in 2028 and is set to earn $96,600 annually. He’s already signaling a collaborative approach, teaming up with interim treasurer Jake Martin — a longtime staffer praised for his work — and vows to learn from the team while boosting morale. His appointment, mandated by state law to be a Democrat, follows a delayed vote due to legal review, and Soto’s calm, professional demeanor is seen as a fresh start for the critical role overseeing county tax revenues.
