Here’s my closing statement on #EarlyVoteDay.

Since beginning this campaign, I have been steadfast in my vision of a Maricopa County Attorney’s Office that reflects the community it serves and actively works in the best interests of justice.
My opponent does not share these values.

After 13 months in office — she is more than happy to continue the status quo and build on the legacy of her predecessor.
The same legacy that has wasted millions of taxpayer dollars and created a criminal justice system that unfairly targets the most marginalized in Arizona.

There are no attorneys of color in executive leadership under her tenure as appointed County Attorney.
When asked about the racial disparities in our criminal justice system, she couldn’t articulate a plan of action — just that she had conversations. https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2020/10/21/maricopa-county-legal-system-demographics-overwhelmingly-white/5909033002/

When she does have those conversations with folks in the community, they are one-sided and she does not listen. https://www.azmirror.com/2020/09/30/allister-adel-our-county-attorney-misunderstands-why-our-community-doesnt-trust-law-enforcement/
She has repeatedly shown she doesn’t care about the most marginalized in our community.
To her, LGBTQ+ rights are a laughing matter. https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/county-attorney-allister-adel-blasted-for-trans-joke-11493416

She mocks working mothers who take time to balance a career and a family.
My opponent has also demonstrated time and time again that she doesn’t understand the law.

Most alarming, she has demonstrated her willingness to prosecute women for their reproductive choices and imposing prison sentences for some of our most intimate decisions. https://theappeal.org/abortion-arizona-roe-v-wade-supreme-court/
We cannot afford to elect a Maricopa County Attorney that would enforce a two-tiered system of justice that treats some people differently and does not reflect the values we hold as Arizonans.
You simply cannot govern if you're looking down at people.

My plan for this office will make our community safer, end racial disparities in sentencing, and save taxpayers $250 million a year with smart reforms.
But most importantly, these reforms would restore the trust of the community in this office. https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2020/10/14/maricopa-county-attorney-candidate-julie-gunnigle-calls-reform/3519452001/

It is time we turn the page on the past and work together towards the future. Arizonans deserve a leader as their next County Attorney with the vision and values of our community.
I would be honored to earn your vote.
