Steven Sarkis is a 24-year-old legal clerk who ran and won for justice of the peace in the Arcadia-Biltmore justice precinct in Maricopa County. This was Steven's first run for public office. Steven worked for the justice court for two years before he left to run for justice of the peace, which is a partisan elected office. This was an open seat held by a Democrat. Progressive Majority was been involved in Steven's race from the beginning and he relied heavily on our advice. Steven walked very aggressively for several weeks. The general election was very competitive, with the district almost exactly evenly split between Democrats and Republicans.
