Residents of Pinal County, particularly those hailing from Precinct 2, should perk up their ears to the latest opportunity that's come a-knockin'. The Pinal County Board of Supervisors is picking up applications from folks itching to fill the robe of Justice of the Peace, Casa Grande Justice Court – specifically those with a GOP ticket in hand. This judicial seat uncoupled itself from John L. Ellsworth, who's slated to part ways with the position by February 28, 2025, as stated in a county public notice.
The call for candidates comes with a hefty side of criteria, as per Arizona Revised Statute. The Board will only entertain applications from registered Republicans this round – given that Ellsworth, too, sported that party's pin when elected back in 2022. Heads up, applicants must be legal Arizona residents living within Precinct 2, must be able to tick boxes for being at least 18 years old, registered to vote, and must have the ability to read and write English.
If the prospect of meting out justice while wearing a black gown speaks to you, then better sharpen that pencil and update your resume. Before firing it off though, make sure it includes your address, party affiliation, and contact details. And don't drag your feet; you've got until 5:00 PM on Thursday, February 27, 2025, to submit your paperwork. Oh, and let's not forget, you'll be signing off for a background check too, as per the application requirements.
Those seeking a more detailed job description can refer to Title 22 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to ensure they understand the role. If any questions arise, Natasha Kennedy, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, is available to assist. She can be reached by email at [email protected] or by phone at (520) 866-6068.
