Very sad to hear of his passing- no matter the topic or what sides we were on, meetings with Kevin and his sons were always pleasant and full of laughs- very passionate guy who loved his family, his state- and more than most people probably know he legitimately cared about other people.

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the passing of our father and senior advisor, Kevin DeMenna.

Kevin dedicated his life to his family and business, and cared deeply for the friends and colleagues he worked with at the State Capitol….

Today everyone will try to call races minute by minute. The truth is we don't know yet, and won't for a while. But shifting to policy, here's something we do know-

Apparently some (Ex?) Republican consultants are reportedly already pitching a gross receipts tax at the Capitol. A GRT taxes the money you bring in, not the money you make. Businesses owe it even when they lose money, and it gets taxed again every time a product changes hands.

States tried this in the Depression and spent decades repealing it. New Jersey, Kentucky and Michigan tried again in the 2000s and dumped it within a few years.
Arizona doesn't need the rerun.

Whoever wins tonight, this idea should lose. #policymatters

Brahm - It’s not all about golf courses, although they are an important part of our economy and use less than 2% of our total water.

Moreover, there are several lines where the AG demonstrates a lack of understanding about the economy and the constitutional scope of her own office.

Even the Politico interviewer even seems to weigh in with skepticism about her role in some of these things, and her only response was pointing to how popular these issues are in polls.

I have known Kris Mayes a long time, so it is disappointing to see her take this kind of approach to her position, and to repeat misinformation about Arizona’s water situation that will only hurt everyday Arizonans if we drive good jobs away.

So I read verbatim of her 25-minute interview. Kris Mayes said 'golf courses' once. Idea that a drought-plagued state 'might have too many' isn't exactly controversial. But nice try. This was most interesting comment:
