The race
The South Mountain 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 Mahogany Kennedy (Democratic), the incumbent — Ballotpedia's general-election table marks her with an (i).
Mahogany Kennedy (Democratic, incumbent) is the sitting South Mountain constable, confirmed by Ballotpedia's incumbency mark and by the county constables directory, which lists her in the seat today. Her Arizona List candidate profile confirms she is "currently serving as a Constable for Maricopa County" and presents her for re-election, but offers no fuller biography in the material this pass could read. Beyond incumbency, this pass's searches returned no campaign biography or news profile, and no documented controversy, discipline, or scandal in either column.

Our call: no endorsement — uncontested race. Search documented: Ballotpedia's general-election table (sole candidate, incumbent), the Maricopa County constables staff directory (Kennedy in the seat today), and the Arizona List candidate profile. No fuller profile and no controversy were returned.
