A geographical region connected by similar interests and divided from the rest of Yavapai County by a mountain range now has two representatives.

The only two experienced Yavapai County supervisors — District 3 Supervisor Chip Davis and District 2 Supervisor Tom Thurman — now represent the interests of the Verde Valley.
