The race
The Hassayampa 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 Scott Blake (Republican), the incumbent — Ballotpedia's general-election table marks him with an (i).
Scott Blake (Republican, incumbent) is a documented leader inside his own profession. Per the LD28 Republican Party's endorsement summary, he serves on the Arizona Constables Association's executive board, has served as its president, chaired the Constables Ethics, Standards & Training Board, writes the association's training grants, and teaches civilian response to active shooters. His own campaign site adds the personal record: Eagle Scout (1982), an electrical degree (1991), owner of a carpet-cleaning business his employees run while he works as constable, married with six children and two grandchildren, and decades of volunteering including City of Surprise Pride Day house/block captain work. The same site tells, in his own words, the kind of service stories constables accumulate — including reuniting a confused eviction defendant with her out-of-state son rather than simply putting her out. Credits: the profession's own ethics-and-training leadership, held by the man this precinct already elected. Dirt: no documented controversy or discipline surfaced in this pass's searches.
OUR CALL
Our call: no endorsement — uncontested race. Blake's professional record is the strongest in this batch, and it is documented above for voters — but an endorsement from us in a race with one name on the ballot adds nothing a voter can use, and his biography rests substantially on his own campaign site. Search documented: Ballotpedia's general-election table (incumbent), the LD28 GOP endorsements page (association and ethics-board roles), the candidate's campaign site, and the county constables directory (Blake in the seat today).
