Navajo County, Arizona, seeks a new top election official after resignation
Navajo County Recorder Tim Jordan was done fighting.
He’d served as one of the county’s top election officials for a year — and spent most of that time wrapped up in a legal fight after being indicted on criminal charges connected to a road rage incident. That included one count of disorderly conduct with a weapon, a felony charge that threatened to disqualify him from holding office.
As 2026 dawned, he seemed ready to move on. He agreed to a plea deal on Dec. 30 and, about a month later, announced that he planned to resign on April 15, opening up a key election-administration job in the politically divided county.
“I feel my decision is within the best interest of all,” he wrote in his resignation letter. “I choose to leave quietly as possible to avoid further media and social distractions.” He signed off his letter with “much love.”
