The race
The White Tank 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 Steven Conner (Republican). He is not the sitting constable — the county constables directory lists Jeremiah Schultz as the current White Tank constable — and he carries no incumbency mark in Ballotpedia's table.
Here the documented record stops at the candidate listing itself. Ballotpedia's general-election table and the @Vote Arizona election listing both name Steven Conner as the White Tank constable candidate — a name, a party, and an office. This pass's name searches returned nothing else about him: no campaign site, no biography, no news coverage, no association profile, and no controversy either. The Arizona Constables Association's membership page still lists a different, earlier White Tank constable (Mark Sinclair), and the county directory lists the outgoing incumbent — neither says anything about Conner. We do not guess at a man's record from people-search pages, and we did not use them.
OUR CALL
Our call: no endorsement — insufficient record. The search is documented on this article's face: Ballotpedia's general-election table (sole candidate; returned name and party only); the @Vote Arizona election listing (same — name and office only); the Maricopa County constables directory (returned the incumbent, Schultz — nothing on Conner); the Arizona Constables Association membership page (returned an outdated listing — nothing on Conner); and news/campaign searches by his name and precinct (returned no profile and no controversy). A candidate for an enforcement office who leaves no verifiable public record has not earned an endorsement, and an uncontested ballot is not a substitute for one.
