Issue Position: RESTORE INTEGRITY to the Office of the Attorney General

Issue Position

Since my campaign began, I have consistently emphasized the importance of integrity and character in our Attorney General. Integrity was summed up by C.S. Lewis as doing the right thing, even when no one was watching. But it's about more than that as our state's top lawyer. The Attorney General wields the sword of justice and holds the shield of our state sovereignty. That means they have the ability to affect the life, liberty, property, and livelihood of every Arizonan. It's a solemn obligation that requires an individual with a servant's heart who will reflect our Arizona priorities and values.

As a former federal and state prosecutor, I appreciate that the role of a prosecutor is to ensure justice--and make sure the rights of victims are vindicated. I was brought up to believe we have an obligation to stand up to injustice and those who would bully the least among us. The Attorney General has an obligation to use the power of the sword not to serve their own ends, but to do justice. I am irreversibly committed to these ideals. As a former prosecutor and law enforcement agency director, the actions of our current attorney general have made me more resolute. I will not back down from the fight to restore integrity and character to the Attorney General's office. Arizonans expect and deserve at least that much.
