>Stephen Richer, Maricopa County Recorder

Who is Stephen Richer?

Richer plans to resign from his job as a lawyer for Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie in downtown Phoenix so he can focus on learning the recorder role.

 

He previously worked in business management and public policy, including for think tanks such as American Enterprise Institute and the Cato Institute.

 

He's participated on the boards of the Arizona Humanities, the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Federalist Society’s Phoenix Lawyers Chapter.

 

Richer said he has helped out on some political campaigns in Arizona and elsewhere but this was his first run for office.

 

How will Richer change elections?

He has said he stands for “fair and competent elections,” and wants voters to "have confidence in the voting process."

 

One way he would take the politics out of his position, he said before he was elected, would be to create an oversight board, staffed with people from all political parties. He also said he would develop strong relationships with the Board of Supervisors and Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.

 

Richer said that he would make public documents more accessible, including by posting every records request and its results online.

 

Slugocki said he is worried what Richer's win might mean for the county's elections. He said hopefully he does not try to limit voting access.

 

Richers said his main goal would be to "stay away from controversy."

 

"As much as I enjoy following the news I hope I'm not a regular subject of reporting," he said.
