Maricopa County Clerk of the Superior Court

Established by the Arizona Constitution, the Clerk of the Superior Court is the record-keeping and fiduciary office for Maricopa County's Superior Court — the nation's fourth-largest trial court system. The Clerk's office maintains dockets and case files, processes filings and court-ordered payments, and supports jury and probate administration. It does not decide cases, issue rulings, or set sentences; that authority belongs to judges. The office carries a four-year term. Each party's nominee ran unopposed in the July 21, 2026 primary, so the race heads directly to a November 3, 2026 general-election matchup.
