PHOENIX — The race for Arizona attorney general is wide open heading into Tuesday's primaries, with six Republicans and a lone Democrat eyeing a job that could have have an outsized role on issues like abortion and election integrity.
Brnovich has been mired in the debate over reproductive rights in Arizona since the U.S. Supreme Court this year overturned the Roe v. Wade decision that called abortion a constitutional right. In mid-July, he asked a judge in Tucson to lift a decades-old order that blocks enforcement of a near-total abortion ban passed before Arizona was a state, citing the high court's ruling. A hearing is pending.
Abraham Hamadeh, a former Maricopa County prosecutor and intelligence officer in the U.S. Army Reserve endorsed by former President Donald Trump, and the other five Republicans competing for their party's nomination have indicated they will defend whichever Arizona abortion law prevails. Mayes is running unopposed for her party's nod. She calls herself the “lawyer of the people” and says she’ll fight for voting rights, the environment and the state’s most vulnerable people.
