Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes has announced the launch of her campaign for reelection.
In a written statement, Mayes said, “By protecting Arizonans from corporate greed, safeguarding our groundwater for generations to come, and standing up to Donald Trump’s unlawful attacks on our Constitution, I’ve been a lawyer for the people every single day."
Mayes has spent much of this year suing the Trump administration over executive orders and funding cuts for federal agencies.
In 2022, Mayes won by 280 votes over Republican Abe Hamadeh.
