Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Appoints Cody Reim to Arizona House of Representatives
Arizona Legislative District 3 Seat Selected by the Board of Supervisors
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors appointed Cody Reim to fill a vacant seat in the Arizona House of Representatives for Legislative District 3 and he was sworn in just a few days later. The vacancy followed the resignation of former Arizona Representative Joseph Chaplik, who stepped down to pursue the open seat in Congressional District 1.
Reim, a small business owner from Rio Verde Foothills, was selected unanimously from a list of three candidates nominated by local party officials, in accordance with Arizona law. He will serve through the remainder of the current term, with the Legislative District 3 seat scheduled to appear on the ballot in the 2026 Arizona general election.
Supporters of the appointment highlighted Reim's community involvement, particularly his advocacy on local water issues — an ongoing concern for residents in parts of northeast Maricopa County. Reim has said he plans to focus on representing constituents' concerns and contributing to long-term solutions at the state level.
