Statement
I am running for reelection as Arizona's Attorney General and your 'Lawyer for the People.' As Attorney General, I have fought like hell for Arizonans – lowering prices, blocking mega-mergers, addressing rising rent, stopping the flow of deadly fentanyl and protecting working families. I sued the Saudis for over pumping Arizona's groundwater and opposed unfair electricity rate hikes by Arizona's monopoly utilities. Working with federal partners, sheriffs, and police chiefs, I have seized more than 27 million fentanyl pills off of our streets– the most of any Attorney General in Arizona history. My office has prioritized shutting down scams, prosecuting fraud, and going after those who put Arizona seniors in danger. I blocked the federal government's tariffs at the Supreme Court and have protected more than $1.5 billion for Arizonans with our federal lawsuits. I will continue to fight for Arizonans' personal freedoms; securing reproductive healthcare, standing up to federal overreach, and safeguarding Arizona's environmental future. I have heard from people all across the state at my town halls how I can fight for them. It is critical to reelect me as your Attorney General, so I can keep protecting Arizona families and making life more affordable in Arizona.
