MEET WARREN
"I'm Warren Petersen, and I’m running to be your next Arizona Attorney General because our state deserves a fighter who will defend the rule of law, protect our freedoms, and push back against bureacratic overreach.
As Senate President, I stood up for Arizona families by defending state laws when others refused, like ensuring fairness in women’s sports. I’ve led the charge against unconstitutional mandates, fought for our Second Amendment rights, and worked to keep government in check.
As Attorney General, I’ll enforce the law without bias, hold criminals accountable, fight for the rights of crime victims, and protect the rights of every Arizonan. Our state needs strong leadership in the AG’s office—someone who won’t back down when it matters most. I’m ready to get to work."
