Warren Petersen

Warren Petersen is a conservative Republican candidate for Arizona Attorney General in 2026. Formerly the Arizona Senate President, he advocates for upholding the rule of law, supporting law enforcement, and protecting Arizona families, including defending Second Amendment rights and fighting against unconstitutional mandates. Petersen is known for his "common sense" approach and aims to restore trust in the AG's office, actively opposing current Attorney General Kris Mayes. He has been criticized for being an "election denier" regarding the 2020 election and faces questions about meeting the five-year legal practice requirement for the Attorney General position, having been admitted to the bar in late 2023. His campaign benefits from significant PAC funding, including contributions from private prison companies and mobile home operators.
