Official Profile
Religion: Likely Catholic (Holy Cross + Notre Dame Law education) — no explicit personal faith statement publicly documented
Background: Maricopa County Supervisor District 2 since Dec 2021 (appointed to vacancy), full term elected Nov 2022, re-elected Nov 2024. 2025 Chair of Maricopa BOS (Kate Brophy McGee took 2026 gavel). Partner at Rose Law Group (land use, real estate, water law); Holy Cross BA, Notre Dame Law JD. Declined federal AZ-01 race 2025-09-30 same day Schweikert pivoted to governor.
STATUS FIX (2026-06-02): DECLINED 2026 AZ-01 federal bid. On Sept 30 2025 (same day Schweikert vacated AZ-01 for governor), Galvin posted on X: 'I have the best job in Arizona government and have no interest in spending time away from my family. I'm sure a great conservative will emerge to carry on David's legacy.' FOX10 confirmed 'Maricopa Co. Supervisor Thomas Galvin declines congressional bid.' Wikipedia 2026 AZ House elections page lists him under 'Declined.' Remains sitting Maricopa BOS D2 (Chair 2025). Documented BOS record: HARD pro-school-choice (self-describes as Arizona's biggest ESA advocate, his sons are ESA beneficiaries); HARD pro-sheriff/anti-DOJ-oversight (pushing to end the Melendres consent decree on MCSO); HARD pro-border-security rhetoric (joined Arizona border-security org Aug 2025). ELECTION-INTEGRITY POSTURE — institutionalist Republican lane (Bill Gates / Stephen Richer): voted to certify 2022 election (11/28/2022); defendant in Kari Lake's 2022 lawsuit; defended drop boxes against MAGA-aligned Recorder Justin Heap (May 2026, 4-1) calling election re-litigation 'the 2020 election hamster wheel'; proposed reform to count 95% of votes on election night (move up early-ballot cutoff, eliminate emergency Sat/Mon voting). Drew MAGA criticism for nominating Schweikert's 2022 D challenger Jevin Hodge to fill an LD-8 House vacancy (Jan 2024). Saudi-alfalfa-lobbying conflict: as Rose Law Group attorney represented Fondomonte Arizona (Saudi groundwater pumping). No SBA Pro-Life / Center for Arizona Policy / Trump / NRA endorsements located. Pro-life and pro-2A self-labels exist (campaign site) but are unsourced beyond the candidate bio.
