Kris Mayes vs Student Loan Caps

Attorney General Kris Mayes (D-AZ) doesn't slow down. The Arizona Attorney General has now filed her 42nd lawsuit against the Trump administration, taking direct aim at new federal student loan restrictions she says will... READ MORE

AZ Secretary of State Adrian Fontes: Arizona needs our small businesses and the state needs to step up to invest in them. Taking our business services desk on the road is just one way the Department of State is working to keep dollars flowing inside rural Arizona.

State Senator Jake Hoffman: Debbie Lesko is legitimately a corrupt liar I know for a fact that she knows full well the extent to which she’s gaslighting & outright lying to the people of Maricopa County She’s so morally corrupt that she simply does it anyway Debbie’s is one of the most disappointing political suicides in recent history Debbie and the BOS have repeatedly, and continue to repeatedly, break Arizona election law They even got their asses handed to them in Court for doing so Their response? They continue to do it in even more egregious ways Debbie Lesko, the majority of the Maricopa Board of Supervisors, and Scott Jarrett all deserve to be federally charged for civil rights violations Jail time is warranted for their wanton disregard for the law.

State Representative Cody Reim: Today I came across a blatent defamatory hit piece aimed at my colleague @LaurinHendrix It falsely claims Rep. Hendrix killed HB2312 and is protecting vial criminals and thugs. Not only do I know Rep. Hendrix but he has a proven conservative track record, he is a man who loves his country and genuinely loves his state! To whoever is behind this text blast, either you are a lying leftist, or an uninformed activist wet behind the ears who wants to make a name for yourself. Either way, It would be wise to get your facts straight and report the truth, fair and square, rather than attempt to defame a good man’s name in order to benefit your agenda. Not only did Rep. Hendrix vote in FAVOR of the bill you have falsely claimed he killed, the governor signed it into law on 03/12/25! I’ve included the receipts! They are publicly available and are not hard to find. @AZHouseGOP either we stand together, or we fall divided. The left is on the prowl, where are we?

State Representative Alma Hernandez: Sending “Zionists” to camps & castration centers. Every American should be horrified by this! Today my opponent is attacking me for supporting Israel’s right to exist, pushing antisemitic smears about “AIPAC $” & “overseas interests” Making my identity suspect and disqualifying.

State Representative Alexander Kolodin: Fontes caught breaking Arizona law yet again A court has again slapped Fontes for violating the law His response? “The court sided with conspiracy theorists” No, Adrian — you broke the law Arizona, it's time to end the lawlessness Vote Alex Kolodin for Secretary of State

State Representative Michele Peña: DECLINE. TO. SIGN. The petition they're pushing at Sam's and Walmart isn't about "saving schools." It's about killing school choice for every Arizona family, including the working families in Yuma who finally have the same options wealthy zip codes have always had.

State Representative Joseph Chaplik: Lying Jay Feely is at it again. We had to send him a cease and desist because of his repeated lies about me and my stellar conservative record. Jay, stop lying and go back to South Gilbert, where you live. We’ve got it covered here.

State Representative Nick Kupper: Val Kilmer was one of the most underrated actors of the 80s & 90s.
