It’s not every day you get to take your daughter to go meet the VP (& hopefully our future PRESIDENT) @KamalaHarris!Just an incredible experience we’ll never forget. Let’s go, Democrats! Knock doors, make calls, register folks to vote & donate what you can! We can do this!

🧵 Let’s get clear about some facts. My woefully inexperienced opponent came out of nowhere in this race. He was admitted to the AZ State Bar to practice law in May 2017.

Huge congratulations to our newly elected Governor of Arizona, @katiehobbs!!!.
Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs has been elected governor of Arizona, defeating Republican Kari Lake, a former TV news anchor who backed Donald Trump’s election lies. Hobbs will succeed Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, who was term-limited.

A 🧵. My AG opponent just publicly attacked the FBI. He does not respect the rule of law or our law enforcement. He’s definitely more interested in being Trump’s lawyer than #LawyerForThePeople.

No, Abe. The biggest threat to our democracy is a woefully inexperienced, lying, election denying, Trump-endorsed sock puppet like you, along with your partners in tyranny, Lake, Finchem & Masters. Arizona must soundly reject you & your brand of hate on Nov. 8.

Know this. I will never stop fighting to protect our reproductive rights and freedom. Never.
Attorney general @AZAGMayes on the Arizona abortion ban:. “This is this is an existential crisis for our residents. Millions of Arizonans . woke up this morning to a decision that drags us back to 1864. Though I have said I will not prosecute anyone under this draconian law.”

Just beyond disrespectful…Listen up, @KariLake. You & @AbrahamHamadeh may not want those McCain voters to join your camp, but we certainly welcome them in ours. All Arizonans - Republicans, Independents & Democrats - deserve a #LawyerForThePeople — which I will be.

He lacks the experience, honesty + integrity to be hired for any partner position of any real law firm, has no managerial experience, yet thinks he can run the largest law firm in the state, which is preposterous.

His brother made him a several day $1MIL loan to get on the radar of Trump. And it worked. He grifted the grifter & earned Trump’s endorsement with his willingness to spread baseless election conspiracies & prop up the heavily debunked 2000 Mules film.

Looks like my opponent won’t be taking part in future media interviews. Seriously though, protection of our First Amendment rights (1A) is crucial to a free society & healthy democracy. This Trump-speak is unacceptable & dangerous rhetoric from a candidate for Attorney General.

He continues to make baseless lies about me and my experience, while demonstrating his lack of understanding of the duties of the Attorney General’s office. The bulk of law practiced within this office is Administrative Law, which is my area of expertise.

So incredibly saddened by the passing of Jim Kolbe, one of AZ’s great leaders. A former member of Congress who loved southern AZ, Jim was a friend and a co-chair of my campaign. Jim always put his country first and I am so grateful for him. He will be deeply missed. 💔

Last week my AG opponent was attacking the FBI. Yesterday he attacked media & now the CIA — including @GenMhayden, the former CIA Director. Abe is unhinged & this absolutely isn’t normal. This is dangerous for our country.

I’m proud of the work I did while serving AZ as a Commissioner, including overseeing 2700 cases that included high level Securities Fraud cases. The AG doesn’t prosecute shoplifters or DUI’s. The AG doesn’t operate like Batman, calling our city “Gotham” & baselessly attack media.

“They know how absolutely unpopular this 1901 law is. They know how indefensible it is. And they know that when Nov. 8 comes the people of AZ are going to resoundingly reject this extreme abortion ban this attack on the people of AZ by voting them down.”

We’re 10 days away from early ballots dropping & we believe Arizona voters deserve truth. Welcome to Midterm Fables. Our 1st episode shows my AZ AG opponent denying the results of 2020 election, wanting to end early & vote by mail & being a “tyrant” (his words). Share far & wide.

My opponent only lies & deflects. While I was doing a press conference this morning on Arizona’s new abortion ban that would imprison doctors & punish women, Abe has been silent on the issue. Is he under a rock? Let’s have a serious conversation about “protection.” #WhereIsAbe

I cannot for the life of me imagine anyone in the important position of Attorney General speaking to the press in this manner. This Trump playbook has taken its toll & you could expect zero transparency or accountability from my opponent, #DishonestAbe. Very disturbing.

Arizona has so many real, urgent issues - our fentanyl crisis, elder abuse, too much consumer fraud, a water crisis - & my opponent is talking about locking up Fauci apparently now too. He’s unhinged & too extreme for Arizona (or anywhere for that matter…).
AZ AG candidate Abe Hamadeh: "I want retribution & it's time Dr. Fauci is held accountable." . He then introduced Blake Masters to the stage as "someone who is going to prosecute Dr. Fauci when he's in the U.S. Senate -- Blake Masters, everyone.".
52
131
375
Breaking news about my opponent breaking the law. AGAIN. “Hamadeh's response to the missing items in the legal document he signed in March "under penalty of perjury"? He was busy and admitted the document was wrong.” Unacceptable & disqualifying for an AG.

So honored my former boss and favorite Governor, Janet Napolitano hosted an event for us this week. Big thanks to all co-hosts incl. Phoenix @MayorGallego, @erfleuncuffed for having us & all who attended. We’re going to win this race in Nov. and have a #LawyerforthePeople as AG!

1/ Does anyone else find it insane that @boas_phil is slamming me - a single mom - for not meeting @VP on the tarmac because I had to take my own kiddo to the airport?.

Funny how all my opponent does is not show up for candidate forums or interviews then whines about it like 2 yr. old having a tantrum. I was a journalist more than 20 yrs. ago. Since then, I had a career as a statewide elected official & at ASU for past 10 yrs. Lawyer since 2005.

Water. It's our most precious natural resource and must be protected. The sweetheart deals Gov. Ducey & State Land Dept. have given to private, foreign-owned companies needs to end. These deals must be investigated. As your next AG, I will protect AZ's water supplies + people.

My opponent, has affirmed he will indeed lock up doctors, nurses, pharmacists, etc. & punish women for abortion, with ZERO exceptions for rape or incest. He has also previously said he believes “life begins at conception” which puts IVF doctors + patients at risk too. #1901Abe
35
186

As your next Attorney General: I will protect your privacy, your freedom to control your own body + future, and will NEVER lock up doctors, nurses or others for abortion care. NOT ON MY WATCH. It’s 2022 — not 1901. #lawyerforthepeople #roevember Join us:

It’s a dark day in American history. We refuse to go backwards & I will fight like hell to ensure women have control over our own bodies.When elected Attorney General my 12-point plan for protecting & retaining reproductive rights - incl. the right to an abortion - starts DAY 1.

This vicious anti-semitism & the willingness to engage in voter fraud by my opponent for AG absolutely disqualifies him. Arizonans are going to reject this hateful behavior. This is not a person who can legitimately lead the AG’s office - or any office.

My opponent #DishonestAbe keeps attempting to back away from his own words & what he’s said about the 2020 election. He tries to pivot, lie & fails. Don’t be fooled. He has no interest in serving Arizonans & is a grifter.

This is an important one because it has to do with protecting our WATER. I have vowed to investigate these most likely unconstitutional sweetheart deals given to the Saudis by Ducey with zero investigation from Brnovich. It’s wrong & my opponent will only work for Trump - not AZ.
