No endorsement
The race
The Agua Fria Precinct elects a constable this cycle. A constable is the justice court's enforcement officer — serving summonses, subpoenas, and orders of protection, and carrying out court orders including evictions and property seizures. The office carries a four-year term. This race is on the November 3, 2026 general-election ballot as a vote, not a cancelled election: Arizona's cancellation statute, A.R.S. § 16-410, by its terms covers only elections held under Title 15, Title 48, or § 16-822, and Ballotpedia's general-election tables list this race on the general ballot with a single candidate. The sole general-election candidate is Michael Flores (Democratic), the incumbent — Ballotpedia's general-election table marks him with an (i).
Michael Flores (Democratic, incumbent) is the sitting Agua Fria constable, confirmed by Ballotpedia's incumbency mark and by Maricopa County's own constables staff directory, which lists Michael Flores in the seat today with a county contact. Beyond that current service, this pass's searches returned no campaign biography or news profile, and no documented controversy, discipline, or scandal in either column. The Arizona Constables Association's membership page likewise carries no biography for this constable where checked.
