One of my first priorities as attorney general will be to pull in all of the attorney's and individuals who work with CPS and ask, "How did you allow this to happen?" We also have an obligation to protect and defend our laws that concern the unborn. I am proud to be endorsed by the Arizona Right to Life PAC and named as the "only pro-life candidate" in the attorney general race." (justfacts.votesmart.org)
