2014
The Pendergast Governing Board had three at-large seats up for election on November 4, 2014. Two of the seats were regular four-year terms. Incumbents Martin J. Quezada and Susan Serin faced write-in challengers Consuelo Aduana Pambid-Stout and Edgar G. Hernandez-Galaviz in the race for the four-year terms.[3]
The third seat, a two-year term, was open because of a vacancy on the board that was filled by Jose Jesus Arenas in April 2013. Because the vacancy was for a seat with more than two years left on its unexpired term, the seat had to be filled by an elected member at this general election. Arenas ran unopposed to fulfill the remainder of this unexpired term. The Maricopa County Education Service Agency recommended that the election be cancelled and that Arenas be appointed to retain their seats on the governing board by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.[4] The board of supervisors elected to do so at their September 10, 2014, meeting.[5]
