Hi John,
The corruption of Katie "pay for play" Hobbs and AG Kris Mayes has been extreme, disqualifying and impeachable.
It seems like every week, another NEW scandal breaks involving these two "Corruption Queens". And it falls to us, the AZ Legislature, to hold them accountable! ([link removed])

The Phoenix New Times has the story:
A top official with the Arizona Attorney General’s Office was arrested by U.S. Postal Inspection Service agents on Wednesday evening and faces two felony accusations, of controlling and trafficking stolen property.
Vanessa Hickman served as the state government division chief under Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes. She was placed on administrative leave by Mayes’ office last Thursday after the office was contacted by the U.S. Postal Inspector’s office about an investigation into Hickman, according to Mayes spokesperson Richie Taylor. Mayes’ office “cooperated” with the investigation, Taylor said, and Hickman resigned from her position on Monday, though she is still listed on the agency’s website.
“Attorney General Mayes believes that every individual is entitled to due process, but also that justice must be served,” Taylor wrote in an email to Phoenix New Times. “The allegations against Ms. Hickman are serious for any state employee, particularly someone in a leadership position.”
It’s not yet clear what those allegations are. The AG’s office declined to comment further, and USPIS declined to comment on the active investigation. The investigation has been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for a charging decision, USPIS spokesperson Liz Davis wrote, but the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office stated that they had not yet received the submittal on the case.
New Times has requested the probable cause statement for Hickman’s arrest, which would provide more detail as to its circumstances, but has not received it. Hickman did not immediately respond to New Times’ request to comment.
Hickman was arrested a little after 7 p.m. Wednesday and booked into Maricopa County Intake, Transfer and Release by 3 a.m. Thursday. She’s since been released, according to Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office’s booking information.
This isn’t the first time Hickman has made news. Prior to joining the Attorney General’s Office in January 2023, Hickman worked as the Peoria City Attorney. Her departure was controversial.
WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE AG OFFICE???
You have multiple corruption allegations, Mayes being paid by national Democrats to bring a questionable political prosecution, and now one of her top deputies being a criminal herself.
THIS is what happens when you have a totally unqualified political partisan as your AG. We MUST do better, but for now we MUST make sure Mayes and her gang do not commit any more crimes.
Democrats in Arizona are corrupt criminals- they have proven that over and over. They cannot be trusted with leadership, and we in the AZLEG must hold them accountable. ([link removed])
This is the exact moment we need to make sure the people of Arizona to know about this scandal. The Democrat-allied media won't tell them. WE must. Help us inform Arizonans so we can stop this Democrat crime spree! ([link removed])
God bless Arizona, and God bless America!
