Kris Mayes on AZ abortion access, elections integrity and drug epidemics

Kris Mayes has jumped into her role as state attorney general.
Mayes has not been shy about taking on major issues, from abortion
rights and critiquing the state's water policy to casting a
skeptical eye on Arizona's new universal school voucher program. As
the first Democrat to hold the seat in more than a decade, Mayes
confirmed her office is investigating potential fraud related to
efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Arizona played
a key role in tipping the election to President Joe Biden. This
week on The Gaggle, a podcast by The Arizona Republic
and azcentral.com, host Mary Jo Pitzl is joined by
Republic state politics reporter Stacey Barchenger. She covers
the governor and attorney general's offices. Their exclusive
interview with Mayes covers election integrity, how she is
prioritizing numerous pressing issues, and her office's fight
against the fentanyl epidemic in Arizona.  Learn more about
