Pima County Treasurer Steps Down

Pima County Treasurer Brian Johnson is stepping down after just one year on the job, citing personal responsibilities that prevent him from giving the role the attention it deserves. He’ll officially leave on Monday, June 15th, with Chief Deputy Treasurer Jake Martin set to take over. Johnson praised his team and the Board for their support during his brief tenure, which included modernizing operations and boosting transparency. His departure follows a similar pattern — former Treasurer Beth Ford also resigned in March. Behind the scenes, tensions reportedly flared between Johnson and Assessor Suzanne Droubie over a $5.8 million property tax valuation dispute, plus potential $800,000 in interest. The future of the treasurer’s office now rests with Martin — and all eyes are on how this new leadership will navigate the challenges ahead.
