attorney general

A recount of votes has confirmed Democrat Kris Mayes narrowly defeated Republican Abraham Hamadeh in the Arizona attorney general’s race, one of the closest elections in state history.

Typically, the event doesn’t garner much public interest, but recent controversy over election processes and some close results have thrust the typically procedural event into the spotlight.

Kris Mayes has won the closest contest in Arizona history for statewide office, but the win doesn’t signal the end of the election as the narrow margin triggers an automatic recount under state law.

A handful of Republican House members joined all minority Democrats to defeat a bill that would have required the attorney general to investigate a public school if one lawmaker believed they were violating a state law.

Races for state attorneys general are emerging as important battlegrounds this year as Republicans seek to expand their reach in the office sometimes referred to as “the people's lawyer.”
