Mayes Says She’s “Not Finished” and Takes on Petersen’s Hyper-Partisan Record
PHOENIX, AZ — Today, Attorney General Kris Mayes’ reelection campaign launches “Not Finished,” a new television ad putting her record of taking on powerful interests head-to-head with Republican opponent Warren Petersen’s extreme record in the hyper-partisan Arizona Legislature. From suing Saudi mega-farms over Arizona’s groundwater supply to holding powerful companies accountable and putting violent criminals behind bars, the ad makes the case that Mayes has delivered results—and has a lot more she plans to do.
“Arizonans don’t need another politician like Petersen who puts partisan politics before results— they need an Attorney General who will stand up to anyone who threatens their safety, their financial security, or their personal freedoms,” said Delaney Corcoran, Mayes’ Campaign Manager. “Attorney General Mayes has spent her first term doing just that and she’s not finished.”
The ad draws a clear contrast with her Republican opponent Warren Petersen, calling him “another extreme politician with dangerous ideas.” Headlines in the ad highlight Petersen’s extreme record in the hyper-partisan Arizona Legislature, including his support for the largest health care coverage cut in Arizona history—legislation that will take health care away from more than 342,000 Arizonans, including children. Petersen also used the legislature to try to overturn the 2020 election with a $4 Million scam audit and enforce the 1864 civil war era abortion ban.

I don’t just talk about protecting Arizona.
About fighting for families.
About standing up to corporate interests.
I've done it.
Lawsuits against mega-farms. Accountability for AI companies. Protections for our kids. Putting violent criminals in jail. Real results. And we’re just getting started.
My opponent? He’s another extreme politician with dangerous ideas.
I’m proud to be the people’s Attorney General and I’ll never stop fighting for you.
