In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“The reality is that the process of administering elections shouldn’t be about right vs. left or rich vs. poor.”
“As Secretary of State, my sole focus will be on serving all voters, regardless of political affiliation, and administering elections that are secure, transparent, honest, and follow the law, while delivering fast results that all Arizonans can have confidence in on election night.”
“I have a way to make sure our voter rolls are clean without having to give any information whatsoever to the federal government”
“There's no doubt that confidence in our elections here in Arizona is at an all-time low”
“I have a documented record of solving problems”
