MEET STEPHEN RICHER
Stephen lives each day with gratitude, being thankful for a life full of remarkable experiences. Growing up in Utah, a state he considers one of the most beautiful in the country, he had the opportunity to indulge in various sports and immerse himself in the captivating world of fantasy books. It was during law school that he crossed paths with his eventual wife, marking the beginning of a lifelong journey together. Stephen also cherishes the unwavering support of his four loving parents.
After completing his education, Stephen embarked on a path that led him to vibrant cities such as Washington D.C., Chicago, New Orleans, and Hermosillo, Mexico. However, it was in Arizona that he found a deep connection and a place where he and his family truly belong.
Stephen’s professional life took an exciting turn when he was elected Maricopa County Recorder in 2020. Winning the race with a narrow margin, he now collaborates with dedicated public servants, working tirelessly to protect and uphold two essential American rights: the right to own property and the right to vote.
While Stephen had previously worked in law, business, and at prestigious think tanks in Washington D.C., none of those experiences compared to the profound sense of purpose and mission he discovered within the Recorder’s Office. The opportunity to work on matters that truly matter to the people of Maricopa County fills him with a sense of fulfillment that he had never before experienced.
Stephen’s dedication to meaningful causes has not gone unnoticed. The Arizona Republic honored him as “Arizonan of the Year, 2021,” while The Phoenix New Times recognized him as “Republican Politician of the Year, 2021.” In addition, the Maricopa County Bar Association named him “Public Lawyer of the Year, 2022.”
Stephen is looking forward to winning re-election and serving as Recorder for four more years. He will not run again after completing two terms. Regardless of the number of terms he serves, he remains steadfast in his commitment to leaving a positive impact on the Recorder’s office, striving to make it better, more secure, and more efficient during his tenure.
Stephen is immensely grateful for the opportunities he has been given and extends his heartfelt thanks to all who have been part of his remarkable journey.
