Election-skeptic Kolodin wins GOP nomination for Arizona secretary of state
TL;DR Summary
Republican state Rep. Alexander Kolodin won the GOP primary for Arizona secretary of state, defeating former party chair Gina Swoboda and advancing to a November race against Democratic incumbent Adrian Fontes. Kolodin has repeatedly questioned past election results and led lawsuits to overturn the 2020 and 2022 elections in Arizona; he is backed by Turning Point USA and several GOP lawmakers. He frames the secretary of state role as a vehicle for greater election transparency and says more observers at polling places are needed to restore trust in Arizona elections.
