Pima County Seeks New Treasurer

Pima County is urgently searching for a new treasurer as Brian Johnson steps down after just over two years, citing personal reasons — though whispers hint at a possible rift over property tax refunds. The incoming appointee must be a Democrat to succeed Johnson, whose term ends December 31, 2028. Chief Deputy Treasurer Jake Martin, just 23, has already announced his candidacy, pledging to keep operations running smoothly and uphold fiscal integrity. The Board of Supervisors, who recently approved the appointment process alongside the county’s new budget, will select from qualified applicants, with a virtual forum set for early July hosted by the League of Women Voters. This transition won’t disrupt budget implementation — and Martin’s interim role may just be the start of a new chapter in county finance.
