Being the largest county in the state, Maricopa County will play an immense role in settling Arizona's biggest races in the 2026 midterms this year.

Over the last few years, the county has done relatively well ensuring the process is safe, efficient and without major hiccups.

But that doesn't mean there haven't been problems, nor differing opinions on how to handle them.

This week on The Gaggle, we are joined by Supervisor Thomas Galvin, a Republican member of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to talk about the county's litigious relations with Republican County Recorder Justin Heap, the future of election security, data centers and his personal advocacy for bringing hockey back to the desert.
