On July 13, Republican former legislator Kate Brophy McGee formed a committee to for run the district 3 seat on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to be vacated by Bill Gates, also a Republican, He's not running for reelection because of threats directed at him and his family by MAGAts.
Prediction: as she is what passes for a moderate in today's GOP, she'll face those same threats if she wins the R primary.
Actually, the MAGAt members of her party probably won't wait for their primary to be over before engaging in threatening behavior.
She'll be acting as her own treasurer.
From the website of the Maricopa County Recorder -
State Rep. David Cook (R-LD7) is going to challenge State Sen. Wendy Rogers (R-LD7) in the primary in that district. He hasn't formed a committee as yet but he confirmed his intent with an appearance on KPNX's (Channel 12 Phoenix) Sunday Square Off.
Prediction: Same as above, even if Rogers is found not to live in LD7 and can't run there.
Republican former legislator and failed Secretary of State candidate Mark Finchem seems to be prepping for a run for Maricopa County Recorder. Even though he lives in Pima County.
Prediction: No MAGAt threats (since he is one), but he may not run as he would have to move.
He hasn't filed a statement of interest with Maricopa County as yet, but the County hasn't updated that list since May 1st.

The AZSOS list of statements of interest is here.
Filing a statement of interest isn't mandatory before forming a committee and neither filing a statement of interest and/or forming a committee guarantees that the person doing so will appear on a ballot.
