A newly elected Arizona legislator is wanted on a warrant stemming from failure to pay fines from traffic violations in 2010. Ceci Velasquez is a Litchfield Park Democrat who won a race for a House seat from District 29 in the November general election.
According to the Arizona Capitol Times, the warrant was issued last year and stems from Velasquez's failure to make a $100 payment on more than $2,000 in fines.
The fines are for driving on a suspending license, driving a vehicle with a suspended registration and for not having required insurance for the vehicle. They were levied against Velasquez in Florence Municipal Court.
Velasquez said she made a mistake and she will take care of the situation so she can focus on starting her legislative term, which begins in January.
