AZ Secretary of State Adrian Fontes: This election season we are working to answer all your questions. In Arizona, counties manage elections based on local needs. The state ensures a fair system for all and uniformity wherever possible. That’s bottom-up administration.

State Representative Alexander Kolodin: Arizona is ready to get back to the basics in our elections! It was an honor to speak alongside @ScottPresler in support of the Save America Act in Tucson yesterday. Together we can save Arizona & America by restoring secure, honest, transparent, and lawful elections.

State Representative Joseph Chaplik: It is appalling that we have come to this point. The left has normalized political violence to the point where their followers are desensitized and some rooting for it. Can you imagine if this had happened during Obama’s or Biden’s administration? DC would be in complete lockdown. Draconian leftist gun-grabbing and free-speech-destroying legislation would be rolled out on all the Sunday shows. We cannot continue to let the radicals run over us, attempt to kill—or even kill anyone. We need to know whom this shooter was talking to before he decided to attempt the unthinkable. God bless President Trump.

State Representative Nick Kupper: If @GovernorHobbs gets the fake budget she wants then every AZ voter who just got a tax refund will have it immediately taken back away from them by Hobbs. Are you going to let her steal back your money?
