The race
The Kyrene 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 Bridget Bellavigna (Democratic), the incumbent — Ballotpedia's general-election table marks her with an (i).
Bridget Bellavigna (Democratic, incumbent) came to this office by appointment and then won it at the ballot box. Per Maricopa County's own March 9, 2022 announcement, the Board of Supervisors appointed her Kyrene constable to fill a vacancy, from a qualified applicant pool: she is a U.S. Navy veteran who had been a small business owner, real estate broker, and property manager since 2004, with direct knowledge of writs, evictions, and handling of personal property — the daily substance of a constable's work. The Arizona Constables Association's biography adds that she is a first-generation American who enlisted in the Navy in 1980, worked as an aviation electronics technician on A-4F jets until an honorable discharge in 1984, and has owned her real estate brokerage for over 20 years; she was elected in November 2022 after the appointment. Credits: appointment by a bipartisan board for relevant property experience, followed by an election win in her own right. Dirt: no documented controversy or discipline surfaced in this pass's searches.
