No prosecutor will take GOP attorney general candidate's campaign finance case
A top Republican candidate for Arizona attorney general has continued to brag about his fundraising success as the state struggles to find a prosecutor willing to pursue allegations that he violated campaign finance law.
Rodney Glassman, a frequent candidate for elected office in the Grand Canyon State, is accused of accepting at least 30 contributions above the contribution limit spelled out by state law.
Richie Taylor, a spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office, told the Arizona Mirror that the office couldn’t take on the case because of Democratic Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is seeking reelection and Glassman might be her opponent in 2026.
So, Mayes’ office last month sent the complaint to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. But that office also declined to pursue the case because of a conflict of interest: Glassman is a personal friend of Republican County Attorney Rachel Mitchell. That meant MCAO had to find a different county attorney’s office to take up the investigation.
