Arizona Republicans established a committee to 'scrutinize' state officials but have only focused on Attorney General Kris Mayes.
legislature use its powers to impeach Mayes for abusing her authority. The committee met twice over the past few weeks before the recommendation for impeachment was made, according to
The report outlines six reasons for Mayes’s impeachment, including a warning against an Arizona county counting ballots by hand, town halls she held regarding water resources and nuisance lawsuits, and ashe issued about healthcare clinics that made it seem as if abortion services were provided when they actually aimed to convince those seeking abortions not to go through with the procedure.the report was a “sham” and “absurd,” saying it was politically motivated.
“I’m not going to stop doing town halls and hearing out the people of Arizona. That’s my job,” Mayes said. “And perhaps if these, you know, extreme Republicans would spend more time listening to Arizonans, they’d understand what our residents are dealing with every day. But they obviously don’t see their jobs the same way I do.”
“We are the top law enforcement office in the state of Arizona,” Mayes said. “We have 60 hardworking agents working day in and day out fighting the drug cartels, doing dangerous work on behalf of the people of Arizona. And this legislature wants to defund us? … It would appear it’s the Republican Party now that wants to defund the police.”
