SCOTTSDALE - The Republican nominee for attorney general lashed out Wednesday night at incumbent Kris Mayes for filing more than four dozen lawsuits against the Trump administration.
Warren Petersen said that Kris Mayes engages in "political lawfare,'' using her office to go after who she perceives as enemies. And if nothing else, he said, the lawsuits are not a good use of Arizona taxpayer funds that could be used for other priorities.
But Petersen could not identify any one specific case that, had he been the attorney general, he would not have filed. Instead, he said, it comes down to the question of whether Arizona should be involved at all in these multi-state lawsuits.
