Virtual forum set for applicants to Pima County Board of Supervisors post

An online public forum with the eight people who have applied for an open seat on the Pima County Board of Supervisors is set for Monday night.

The forum being hosted by the League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson is set to run from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Dec. 11.

Democrat Sharon Bronson, who held the District 3 seat for 27 years, cited injuries suffered in a recent fall in a resignation letter last month explaining her decision to leave the position. Bronson won a seventh four-year term to represent District 3 in 2020.

District 3 is Pima County’s largest. It covers about 7,400 square miles in the western part of the county and shares about 130 miles of international border with Mexico.

Supervisors expect to name a replacement for Bronson on Dec. 19.
