State Representative Alexander Kolodin: Lawless Fontes couldn’t defend his record last night. He didn’t even try. All he did was make excuses for his failures. Arizona deserves a Secretary of State focused on delivering honest, transparent, and lawful elections. I’m the only candidate committed to doing just that. Vote Alex Kolodin for an honest public servant who will work for all Arizonans.

State Representative Michele Peña: I'm honored to have the endorsement of the @AZPoliceAssc! I’m proud to stand with the men and women who keep our communities safe. I will support strong public safety policies and ensure police officers have the tools and resources to do their jobs effectively!

State Representative Teresa Martinez: She’s up!!! The first 4x8 of the season!!!

State Representative Walt Blackman: When experienced public servants leave, government can lose the “why” behind decisions: not just the files. CivicOS preserves context by linking decisions to source records, so institutional knowledge survives turnover.
